Sources of Kansas utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2022[1]
Wind (47.1%)
Coal (32.3%)
Nuclear (14.4%)
Natural Gas (5.7%)
Petroleum (0.3%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Kansas, sorted by type and name. In 2020, Kansas had a total summer capacity of 16,981 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 54,542 GWh.[2] In 2022, the electrical energy generation mix was 47.1% wind, 32.3% coal, 14.4% nuclear, 5.7% natural gas, 0.3% petroleum, 0.1% solar, and 0.1% biomass. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 87 GWh to the state's electricity grid. This compares as slightly more than the 67 GWh (0.1% share) generated by Kansas's utility-scale solar facilities.[1]
