Kansas has vast renewable resources and is a top producer of [[Wind power in Kansas|wind energy]] in the US, with an installed capacity of about 6,100&nbsp;[[Megawatts]]&nbsp;(MW) from nearly 3,200 wind turbines in 2019. Wind generated the [[List of power stations in Kansas|largest share of electricity]] from the state at 41%. An additional 700&nbsp;MW of capacity was scheduled to come online during 2020. Kansas is also a leading national producer of renewable [[ethanol]] and [[biodiesel]] fuels at nearly 600&nbsp;million gallons per year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=KS |title=Kansas State Energy Profile Analysis |publisher=[[U.S. Energy Information Administration]] |accessdate=April 1, 2021 |archive-date=March 21, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210321082747/https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=KS |url-status=live }}</ref>

Kansas is one of 28 states with a nuclear power plant, Wolf Creek in Burlington, which houses a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor. The plant came online in 1985, and cost over $5 billion to construct. It is owned by [[Evergy]].

Kansas is ranked eighth in [[Petroleum in the United States|U.S. petroleum extraction]]. Production has experienced a steady decline as the state's limited economical reserves especially from the [[Anadarko Basin]] are depleted. Since [[Price of oil|oil prices]] bottomed in 1999, oil production in Kansas has remained fairly constant, with an average monthly rate of about {{convert|2.8|Moilbbl|m3|abbr=off|sp=us}} in 2004. The [[Oil price increases since 2003|recent higher prices]] have made [[carbon sequestration|carbon dioxide sequestration]] and other oil recovery techniques more economical.

Kansas is also ranked eighth in U.S. natural gas production. Production has steadily declined since the mid-1990s with the gradual depletion of the [[Hugoton Natural Gas Area|Hugoton Natural Gas Field]]—the state's largest field which extends into Oklahoma and Texas. In 2004, slower declines in the Hugoton gas fields and increased [[coalbed methane]] production contributed to a smaller overall decline. Average monthly production was over {{convert|32|e9cuft|km3|abbr=off|sp=us}}.
