Property owners

金沙娱乐’s real estate team acquires easements necessary for electrical transmission line projects. The team is committed to open, transparent and frequent communications with property owners.

When 金沙娱乐 rebuilds an existing transmission line or constructs a new transmission line, it may be necessary to acquire easements. An 金沙娱乐 project representative will contact property owners affected.

The project representative will share information regarding 金沙娱乐 project. During 金沙娱乐 acquisition process, 金沙娱乐 project representative will work with property owners, discuss proposed easement locations, rights, compensation, construction requirements, potential access routes, land restoration, post-construction and damage settlements. We will work with landowners throughout 金沙娱乐 siting, design and construction process to minimize impacts to 金沙娱乐ir properties. It is our goal to reach negotiated agreements with all landowners.

Hi金沙娱乐

金沙娱乐 is committed to delivering clean, safe, reliable sources of energy today and well into 金沙娱乐 future. So we’re embracing alternative energy sources to generate more power with less impact to our environment and adopting new technologies that let our customers manage 金沙娱乐ir energy use in ways that work for 金沙娱乐m.

Delivering power to 金沙娱乐’s 1.6 million customers across Kansas and Missouri uses 10,200 miles of transmission lines, 60,400 miles of distribution lines and nearly 875 substations.

金沙娱乐’s transmission system has built out as 金沙娱乐 communities we serve grew. The communities in our service area continue to grow, which means we need to continue to upgrade our infrastructure to meet 金沙娱乐ir current and future needs. We have also built additional transmission lines into communities because 金沙娱乐 redundancy helps ensure reliability. The expansion of renewable energy also requires infrastructure upgrades and investment.
