Economic Wind Development Region
Kansas Department of Commerce
Kansas is ranked #2 in wind potential and
has 5110MW of wind farms in operation and 1000MW in new projects announced. Kansas wind is cost effective due to high capac-
ity factors and is attractive to out-of-state off-takers, which are purchasing a significant percentage of the wind energy produced in Kansas. Located in the heart of the wind corri- dor, Kansas provides access to key regions
for wind farm development and a beneficial operating environment for developers, wind turbine component manufacturers, logistics, and other service providers. The team at Kansas Department of Commerce can assist companies in finding the ideal site for their operations. www.kansascommerce.gov
