List of power stations in Kansas

Sources of Kansas utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2023 ^[1]

  Wind (46.3%)

  Coal (27.5%)

  Nuclear (17.4%)

  Natural Gas (8.4%)

  Solar (0.1%)

  Biomass (0.1%)

  Petroleum (0.1%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Kansas , sorted by type and name. In 2022, Kansas had a total summer capacity of 18,427 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 62,197 GWh. ^[2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 46.3% wind, 27.5% coal, 17.4% nuclear, 8.4% natural gas, 0.1% solar, 0.1% biomass, and 0.1% petroleum. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 129 GWh to the state's electricity grid in 2023. This compares as about 50 percent more than the 81 GWh (0.1% share) generated by Kansas's utility-scale solar facilities. ^[1]
