“For a decade, Evergy has been leading the investment in Kansas green energy,” said John Bridson, Vice President, Generation. “Evergy will be supplying neighboring Kansas utilities with renewable energy at attractive prices that would not otherwise be available to them. By sharing our buying power, we’re able to help others be even greener in serving their customers, too. These agreements help move our state toward a more modern power supply benefiting everyone.”
One of Evergy’s wholesale customers, McPherson, desired to add renewables to their portfolio.
“We know that a stronger emphasis has been placed on performance metrics measuring energy efficiency and sustainability practices for many of our large industrial customers. They are expected not only to meet environmental standards but to exceed them. The McPherson BPU wants to support customer renewability, sustainability, and efficiency efforts and to be considered more of a partner in our customer’s green initiatives”, says McPherson Board of Public Utilities Key Account Manager, Kasi Morales.
“[Evergy] continues to be a great partner, and I remain very pleased that we advanced that partnership one step further with our renewable Power Purchase Agreement.”—Mark Wurm, McPherson Board of Public Utilities Assistant General Manager “[Evergy] has been a great partner to McPherson throughout the years, so this makes good sense.”—Tom Brown, Mayor of McPherson
The Kingman Wind Energy Center is a collection of 120 turbines that generate enough energy to power over three times the amount of homes in McPherson. As wind blows, each turbine captures energy as its propellers are turned around a central rotor, which spins a generator that converts the wind energy into electricity.
The wind energy center allowed McPherson to better serve their customers by diversifying their energy portfolio and increasing the amount of renewable energy used to power customers’ homes. Customers are increasingly looking to their energy providers to utilize renewable energy sources like wind, and the Kingman Wind Energy Center allowed the McPherson Board of Public Utilities to meet this demand while maintaining the affordable rates customers enjoy.
