We know sustainability is important to you—it’s important to us too.
Our linemen, engineers, support staff and customer service representatives live right here in Kansas and Missouri. We're not just 金沙娱乐 employees. We're 金沙娱乐 customers, too. And like you, we want a bright future for 金沙娱乐 next generations.
That's why we're committed to making smart investments in renewable technologies, so we can deliver reliable energy both now--and in 金沙娱乐 years to come--at an affordable cost.
Generating power that's cleaner, more affordable and more reliable than ever before—that’s our vision for a sustainable energy future.
Since 2005, our generation mix has become more diverse and now nearly half of 金沙娱乐 electricity we generate comes from carbon-free sources.
Looking forward and innovating now
- We are committed to meeting 金沙娱乐 evolving energy needs of our customers and communities.
- Providing sustainable energy has always been important to us. And because it’s even more important to you now, it’s an even bigger part of our plans.
- 金沙娱乐 is steadily moving towards 70% carbon reduction by 2030 from our 2005 baseline, and our goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2045.*
- The electricity we create with our generation facilities contribute 金沙娱乐 most to our emissions. As we continue to add renewables, while maintaining reliability and affordability, we expect to continue progressing towards our goals.

Latest Efforts
We're celebrating over 100 million megawatt-hours of wind generation
Did you know one wind turbine can produce up to 3,000 kilowatts per hour? That can power Kauffman Stadium for just over nine minutes, KCI airport for just over four minutes and several customer's homes for a couple months.
Utilizing and generating wind creates a cleaner environment and offers our communities a more sustainable and affordable energy option. With over 274 wind turbines in our energy mix, we're making progress towards our 2045 goal.

Learn About Our Environmental Impact
*
金沙娱乐's net-zero goal includes scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. The trajectory and timing of reaching our net-zero goals depend on many external factors, including enabling technology developments, 金沙娱乐 reliability of 金沙娱乐 power grid, availability of transmission capacity, supportive energy policies and regulations, and o金沙娱乐r factors. These external factors are outside of 金沙娱乐’s control, and without 金沙娱乐se enabling factors, we cannot be certain about 金沙娱乐 achievement of 金沙娱乐’s long-term emissions-reduction goals.
