ENERGY RESOURCES
Eleven KPP member public power utilities operate and maintain 46 generating units with a combined proven capacity of 183,242 kilowatts. Most of the generating units are internal combustion engines. However, two of our member utilities also operate steam turbines and simple cycle gas turbine generators. Most of the internal combustion units are dual-fuel and can run on either diesel oil or natural gas.
KPP owns 62 MW of the 650-MW, combined-cycle Dogwood Energy Facility near Kansas City, Missouri. The KPP acquired 42 MW in 2012 and another 20 MW in 2015.

Pace Solar Initiative
KPP Energy has been awarded funding from the Rural Utilities Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the PACE (Powering Affordable Clean Energy) program for the development of 18 MW of solar arrays in seven rural communities across the State of Kansas. These communities include Clay Center, Ellinwood, Greensburg, Hillsboro, Marion, Wellington, and Winfield. This significant $48 million initiative aims to generate sufficient electricity to meet the needs of approximately 4,000 homes and businesses throughout all 24 member cities of KPP Energy in addition to increasing renewable energy resources within the KPP Energy portfolio.
