KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Power & Light is looking to quadruple the amount of electricity it generates through wind farms over the next two years.
The Kansas City-based utility on Tuesday issued a request for proposals from energy developers for a series of projects aimed at boosting wind energy by 300 megawatts by 2011.
KCP&L already owns and operates a 100.5-megawatt wind farm near Spearville, Kan.
One option for developers is to expand the Spearville facility by another 100.5 megawatts and sell the power to KCP&L by August 2010.
A second option includes providing an additional 100 megawatts of wind energy from somewhere other than Spearville by August and then adding another 200 megawatts by October 2011. KCP&L could either buy this power or own and operate the facility.
The company wants the proposals by January and would select an option to provide the initial 100 megawatts by the end of March, said KCP&L spokeswoman Katie McDonald.
