The Lafayette Clean Energy Storage System is a 100 MW / 400 MWh utility-scale battery storage facility located near Lexington in Lafayette County, Missouri. Interconnecting with Evergy’s high-voltage transmission grid within the Southwest Power Pool, the installation provides essential firming and black-start capability across west-central Missouri.

The Douglas Solar Project is a 159 MWac utility-scale photovoltaic solar installation located on rolling farmland near Lawrence in Douglas County, Kansas. Developed by Savion and interconnecting into Evergy's regional transmission network within SPP, the facility delivers zero-emission solar energy to eastern Kansas urban centers, corporate clean-energy buyers, and regional cooperative utilities while generating millions in local pilot and property tax revenues.

The Ninnescah Flats Solar Project is a 202 MWac utility-scale solar photovoltaic generation facility situated across open ground near Pratt in Pratt County, Kansas. Developed by NextEra Energy Resources and interconnecting into Evergy's bulk power transmission corridor within the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), the facility provides high-capacity zero-carbon generation and strengthens central Kansas grid stability.

Evergy Missouri West is constructing the 109 MW / 436 MWh utility-scale Foxtrot Battery Energy Storage Project in Jasper County, Missouri, near the Kansas state line. Approved under Missouri Public Service Commission Case No. EA-2026-0343 to replace retired coal-fired generation at the Asbury Generating Station site, the four-hour storage facility reuses existing high-voltage substation interconnections to maintain grid resilience across southwest Missouri.

The Butler Clean Energy Storage Project is a 225 MW / 900 MWh four-hour utility-scale battery energy storage system situated near El Dorado in Butler County, Kansas. Interconnecting into Evergy's transmission network within the Southwest Power Pool footprint, the facility absorbs abundant Kansas wind and solar energy, supports bulk grid stability during extreme weather, and provides essential capacity to south-central Kansas.

Alcove’s current project page describes Project Catalyst with MDH Partners: 283 acres, up to seven buildings and approximately 3.3 million square feet, scaling toward 500-plus MW. Construction could start as early as 2028 after approvals; that is not an opening date.

Compass Datacenters development of Building 2 at the MCI-A Topeka Hyperscale Campus in Shawnee County, Kansas. The facility encompasses approximately 200,000 square feet delivering 51 MW of critical IT capacity powered via Evergy clean transmission interconnections and modular low-water cooling systems.

The March 20,2024 announcement establishes a$1 B Kansas City data-center investment. Google’s current location page describes two developing facilities and 400 MW of new grid clean-energy capacity, which is not a published 217 MW campus IT load.

NextEra’s current project page lists up to 217 MW solar and 128 MW battery storage across Johnson and Douglas counties. Its published $320 million project investment replaces $500 million; the former 320 MW solar figure is an older design.

Scale Microgrids (formerly ReLoad Energy) proposes White Cloud Acres, a 6.3B USD AI data center with a co-located 600 MW natural gas plant on US 71 about eight miles south of Maryville, Missouri; Nodaway County commissioners called its development agreement thin and the project was reported under a six-month moratorium in August 2026.

Cloverleaf said on September 28, 2026 that its Project Bluestem data center rezoning remained active while it withdrew the initial application for a separate power-generation facility. Final capacity, investment and delivery date require verification.

Cloverleaf’s September 28, 2026 statement withdrew its initial power-generation application while keeping Bluestem’s data-center rezoning active. Its project page commits to closed-loop cooling; the prior 240 MW and $1.5B claims lack current primary support.

Compass Datacenters development of Building 3 at the MCI-A Topeka Hyperscale Campus in Shawnee County, Kansas. The facility provides an additional 200,000 square feet and 51 MW of dedicated cloud and AI capacity, expanding the multi-tenant hyperscale hub connected to Evergy high-voltage substation feeds.
