Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (KEPCo), headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, was incorporated in 1975 as a not-for-profit generation and transmission (G&T) cooperative. It is KEPCo’s responsibility to provide safe, reliable, and affordable power supply to its 17 electric distribution cooperative members.
Collectively, KEPCo’s members serve more than 77,000 consumer-members, representing nearly 200,000 rural Kansans across two-thirds of the state.
Beyond power supply, KEPCo is committed to providing exceptional support and innovative services to meet its members’ evolving needs. KEPCo is governed by a 17-member board of trustees that elects a seven-member executive committee consisting of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and three additional members.
KEPCo’s power supply resources include 70 megawatts (MW) from Wolf Creek Generating Station, 30 MW from Iatan 2, 20 MW from Sharpe Generating Station, 100 MW of peaking and supplemental hydropower from the Southwestern Power Administration 13 MW of firm hydropower from the Western Area Power Administration, and 1 MW from Prairie Sky Solar Farm. Remaining requirements are met through power purchase agreements that provide KEPCo with base, intermediate, and peaking power supply from nuclear, coal, natural gas, solar, and wind generating resources. Approximately 65% of KEPCo’s power supply portfolio is from non-greenhouse gas emitting resources.
