Evergy slashes planned renewable energy additions, proposes more natural gas
JUNE 16, 2023
Kansas’ largest electric utility has drastically scaled back its plans to add more clean energy over the next decade and will keep open its oldest coal plant for years longer.
Two years ago, Evergy announced plans to retire the Lawrence Energy Center by the end of this year and add 700 megawatts of solar power by the end of 2024.
Now, it doesn’t plan to add any solar power until 2026 and will keep the Lawrence coal plant open until 2028.
