Electricity

Kansas has nearly 4,000 turbines, many taller than the Statue of Liberty. People see blinking lights for miles, but now radars can help preserve the night skies.

Kansas utility companies give away millions in charitable donations every year — and you pay for most of it. Researchers say that spending is often used for political purposes.

A growing relationship between Evergy and activist investment firm Elliott Management is raising red flags with state and federal regulators.

As more drivers buy electric vehicles across the Midwest, utility companies work to establish a charging network.

From the total power Kansas wind generates to the county with the most turbines, here's 20 interesting facts about Kansas wind.

After decades of success, the Kansas wind industry faces new challenges that could slow its growth.

Living in the shadow of the state's first large-scale wind farm for 20 years has been an economic boon for the people living in Gray County, Kansas.

Utility companies Evergy and Kansas Gas Energy say they're working within their industry to improve defenses against hackers and ransomware.

Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are making coal increasingly less attractive as a way to generate electricity.

Lawmakers basically let utilities refinance the cost of their old power plants. And if they get the debt from those coal-fired facilities off the books, they can shut them down and switch faster to renewable energy sources.

Proposed statewide rules come from groups that say neighbors need more power to push back on wind energy development, but the industry has grown steadily in recent years.
