Project Overview

Great Plains Energy Storage (Great Plains) is ideally located east of Parsons, Kansas, to be developed adjacent to the 345kV Evergy Neosho substation. The battery storage facility will provide capacity and energy services to the regional electrical grid, enhancing grid reliability, helping to make the transmission grid more efficient, and accelerating the integration of advanced-technology energy resources.

Construction of the Great Plains Energy Storage facility is anticipated to start in 2028. The 2029 completion of the facility will ensure that Kansas meets its reliability needs. Situated directly adjacent to the existing substation, the site is an optimal location for new energy infrastructure as it will eliminate the need for long transmission lines to connect it to the existing power grid and is a conducive use to the surrounding infrastructure.
