About Wolf Creek Wolf Creek Generating Station is Kansas’ only nuclear power plant. It is located in Coffey County, Kansas, just northeast of Burlington. We are about 55 miles south of Topeka, 90 miles southwest of Kansas City and 120 miles northeast of Wichita. Wolf Creek Generating Station has been safely providing clean energy to the citizens of Kansas and Missouri since 1985. The plant generates about 1,200 megawatt electrical, which is enough energy for approximately 800,000 homes! “Since initial operation, we have been committed to producing safe, reliable, cost-effective electricity,” said Matt Sunseri, president and chief executive officer. “We pride ourselves not only on our production history but also on our commitment to environmental stewardship and community involvement.” In addition to electricity production, Wolf Creek has a positive impact on the economy of both Coffey County and the state of Kansas. This is evident in a recent study of the economic benefits of Wolf Creek, conducted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). The study revealed that Wolf Creek contributes $165 million annually to the local and state economy in the form of payroll, purchases and taxes. Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation is a subsidiary of three owners: Kansas City Power & Light, a Great Plains Energy Company (47 percent) Kansas Gas and Electric, a Westar Energy Company (47 percent) Kansas Electric Power Cooperative (6 percent). WCNOC manages the plant for its owners, who share its energy in proportion to their ownership interest. Contact us for more info
