Kansas Governor Sebelius Unveils Sustainable Energy Plan

Office of the Governor, January 9, 2009

Governor Kathleen Sebelius today announced the legislative components of a comprehensive energy plan for Kansas. It includes:

** Allowing Kansans to generate their own electricity through Net Metering. Net Metering enables customers to use their own generation and effectively sell back the extra electricity they produce.

** Codification of Kansas’ existing voluntary Renewable Portfolio Standard.

** Requiring that new or extended state leases for real property and state-owned real property meet energy efficiency standards. 

** A modification of last year’s Cessna legislation to attract and expand wind related manufacturing investment and jobs to Kansas.
