This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Kansas, sorted by type and name. In 2024, Kansas had a total summer capacity of 19.4 GW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 57,696 GWh. In 2025, the electrical energy generation mix was 47% wind, 30.7% coal, 14.7% nuclear, 6.5% natural gas, 0.8% solar, 0.2% petroleum, 0.1% biomass, and less than 0.1% hydroelectric. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 201 GWh to the state's electricity grid in 2025. This is less than half the 481 GWh generated by Kansas's utility-scale solar facilities.
