Mixed Data Center Policies

Kansas offers qualifying data centers a 20-year sales-tax exemption, conditional on major investment, job, water, security, and power commitments. Facilities with demand of 75 MW or more face stricter utility costs and service terms, while some large sites may have limited ability to connect and export power through July 2027.
