Seneca City Hall
(KMZA)--The city of Seneca will add a solar energy source to its power portfolio, starting in 2027.
The Seneca City Council last week approved a resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement between the city and Kansas Municipal Energy Agency for participation in a solar project being developed by NextEra Energy in Pratt County.
The solar farm is expected to begin producing power in January 2027.
KMEA is looking at purchasing up to 90 megawatts of electric energy from the solar facility and sell that energy to about 30 member cities that have expressed an interest.
Seneca will contract for the purchase of 3 megawatts of power from the facility.
Under the agreement, the city would pay a fixed cost of $50 per megawatt hour for a 30-year period.
Currently, Seneca gets its electric power from a KMEA power pool and other sources.
