Kansas City International
BrownfieldKansas City, Platte, Missouri · Evergy Missouri West
Kansas City International is a natural gas plant in Kansas City, Platte, Missouri, retired 2020-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 36 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
