OVERLAND PARK Sustainability has always been a priority for the University of Kansas and its Edwards Campus (KUEC) in Overland Park. Participation in Evergy’s Renewables Direct program is KUEC’s latest sustainability effort. The 20-year agreement KUEC signed with Evergy went into effect this month, supporting the expansion of wind energy in Kansas through the purchase of 400 kilowatts of wind energy offsets. The wind energy comes from the Ponderosa Wind Energy Center, located in Beaver County, Oklahoma, which began operating in 2020.
According to Evergy, the Renewables Direct program, created in 2018, “allows commercial and industrial customers to offset a percentage of their energy usage through a renewable resource.”
