Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
817 MW of new generation came online in Kansas over the last 18 months; another 406 MW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed); 89 MW is on the books to retire over the next 36. Meanwhile 850 MW of data-center load is in construction or permitted in the state. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Ninnescah Flats Solar (Pratt County) — 202 MW of solar, first online 2026-12. On the way out: Clifton — 76 MW of natural gas, retiring 2028-06.
Two bars, one scale. Demand is sorted by certainty — under construction first, then permitted, then proposed. The dashed rule marks where the supply pipeline runs out; everything to the right of it is demand on file with no supply filed against it.
