Kansas Will Need Infrastructure to Transmit Wind Energy

Kansas has the wind needed to produce electricity, but officials say more transmission lines will be needed to deliver the power to other parts of the country.

To address that concern, the Legislature this year established the Kansas Electric Transmission Authority, which can plan, finance, develop and maintain electric transmission lines.

“The state needs transmission lines to move power from wind farms in the West to markets in the East,” said Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence.
