Evergy trims solar expansion and uses gas at Lawrence plant
Evergy scales back its plan to add solar power by 2024 and will convert part of the Lawrence Energy Center to run intermittently on natural gas. The updated integrated resource plan lowers solar additions to 190 MW in 2023 with no new solar in 2024, pushing more wind while preserving reliability and affordability for customers. The company cites project maturity, inflation, supply chain issues, and Southwest Power Pool processes as reasons for the reduced solar goals.
