The solar energy will have a fixed price for 20 years, and will act as a hedge against price volatility in the natural gas market. Over 20 years, the company looks to save a minimum of $40 million. Today this resource is cheaper than current coal and natural gas resources. It allows us to build more stability and more diversity in our energy portfolio.

In addition to generating cost-effective on-peak energy and capacity, the solar facility will also reduce loading on a transmission line that is nearing full capacity, thus deferring or eliminating a costly upgrade requirement for the Mid-Kansas transmission system.
