Sunflower joins renewables group NRCO to back clean energy push
Sunflower Electric Power Corp joins the National Rural Cooperative Org to pool resources for a national renewable energy program. The move aligns with state efforts to require 10 percent renewables by 2012 and 20 percent by 2020, while KDHE denied permits for two Holcomb coal plants. Sunflower has pursued wind via Mid Kansas Electric and aims to expand wind, biomass, and solar with community benefits and affordable rates, despite wind's intermittency.
