About

The Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy (GPACE) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization incorporated in Kansas in 2007.

The mission of GPACE is to support a clean, secure, prosperous energy economy benefiting more Kansas businesses, farms, communities, and all future Kansans.

The energy policy GPACE supports would continue to move Kansas toward goals for electricity production by 2020-2030 as follows:

Maximize energy efficiency as a resource;
Maximize Kansas wind energy production and integration beyond nameplate capacity;
Develop Kansas natural gas resources to firm wind, meet peak demand, and displace new or inefficient coal-fired generation;
Back down outdated coal-fired facilities at the end of operational or economical service life with renewable energy production, native natural gas, energy efficiency, and proven technologies;
New export and investment capacity and economic development should prioritize native and renewable energy resources;
No new investment in increasingly costly coal plants until national regulatory and financial picture is clear, “clean coal” technologies are proven effective or abandoned, and baseload need is credible;
Maintain existing nuclear capacity, but no costly new nuclear plants until national regulatory and economic picture is clear.
