High-voltage substation construction and transformer work across Kansas. Here is the grid ESS operates in.
Wind is the largest source of electricity in Kansas, at about 52 percent of net generation in 2024, supported by roughly 9,000 megawatts of installed wind capacity. Coal supplies close to 22 percent and the Wolf Creek nuclear plant provides around 16 percent, with natural gas and a small amount of solar making up most of the rest. Kansas ranks among the top states for the share of its electricity generated from wind.
Kansas is part of the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), and its high wind penetration depends on transmission capacity to move generation from rural wind zones to load centers and export markets. Congestion and periodic curtailment occur where transmission is constrained, and new projects face multi-year interconnection queues. Integrating variable wind output while maintaining reliability remains an ongoing planning challenge.
Shown as regional context, the major electric utilities and grid organizations operating in Kansas. ESS builds substations and installs EHV apparatus across the western grid and has mobilized wherever the work is since 1978.
