Our Energy

Westar Energy has been nationally recognized for the excellent performance of our energy centers and for the restoration of electric service during severe weather. More than 2,200 employees working out of 50 serving offices keep the electric energy flowing every day, regardless of weather or season.


Westar Energy generates more than 27,000,000 megawatt-hours of electricity per year at its 12 power plants. These plants are strategically placed throughout our service territory, which covers about 10,130 square miles in east and east-central Kansas. Our 33,000 miles of transmission and delivery lines transport the electric energy to our more than 674,000 customers.
