THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Gardner will consider a resolution to execute a contract modification to its Power Purchase Agreement with Kansas Municipal Energy Agency for Project No. 2 to secure 7 MW of additional firm electric capacity. This deepens the city’s long-term wholesale power portfolio. Power marketers, load management, and grid technology vendors should see KMEA and the city as actively managing capacity and look for related needs in demand response, metering, and system upgrades.
The modification concerns the Grand River Dam Authority Power Supply Project No. 2.
