About the Project - Beyond My Home

In addition to educating and equipping customers with the tools to manage their energy usage, KCP&L SmartGrid will install updated substation technology that supports the system. It will provide:

  • Smart Generation: Cost-effective solutions, such as rooftop solar systems and battery storage. These resources will be used to add renewable energy while reducing and shortening system outages.


  • Smart Distribution: KCP&L has already implemented smart applications like automated meter reading, smart switches and smart capacitors. Improved customer delivery and service quality will result from future advanced technologies. This also provides the ability to communicate with customers on prices and conditions of the system.
