Public Utility Company

The Kansas Power Pool, one of two municipal energy agencies in Kansas, was established in 2004 under Kansas statutes with the execution of an agreement creating the Kansas Power Pool by six Kansas municipalities: Augusta, Burlington. Municipal energy agencies in Kansas are not-for-profit, quasi-municipal organizations that are owned by their member municipalities. The Kansa

s Power Pool was organized as a pool to take collective action to preserve and invest in the members’ energy facilities to satisfy, in the most efficient manner possible, the members’ collective future energy and transmission requirements. To this end, the KPP’s operating philosophy is to equitably share resources and costs among all members through the computation of uniform annual wholesale electric rates approved by the members. Over the next few years, the KPP philosophy attracted new members, which by 2010 totaled over thirty municipal electric utilities. In 2012, the KPP opted to acquire an ownership share of a natural gas-powered, combined-cycle generating facility. To finance the acquisition, the KPP issued revenue bonds, which it secured with long-term power purchase contracts with twenty-one member municipalities. The value of a long-term commitment for electric energy was not shared by all members and membership in the KPP declined by 2014 to twenty-one municipalities. Three new members have since joined the KPP making the current total membership twenty-four in number.

Congratulations to Tim Johnson, City of Augusta, Kansas Public Utilities Director and KPP Energy Board President!

Three days after releasing our Clay Center community spotlight, we're still thinking about the people behind the power.

These images capture more than a generating plant, power lines, and equipment. They tell the story of a community that has invested in its future, employees who take pride in their work, and local leaders committed to keeping the lights on and the community moving forward.

Public power is often at its best when no one notices it. Businesses open on time. Homes stay comfortable. Streets stay lit. Behind that reliability are dedicated people who show up every day to make it happen.

Thank you to the City of Clay Center for opening your doors and sharing your story with us. We're proud to call you a KPP Energy member.
