Please do not approve Evergy's proposal to build a natural gas plant in Buchanan County. We need to vastly accelerate our transition from fossil fuels to renewables and energy efficiency. Climate mayhem is hitting us daily: heat waves in Misouri, Europe and South Asia, melting glaciers in Nepal, the first-ever tornado watch in Hawaii. More fossil fuel emissions will unleash much more damage than we are experiencing even now. Investments in an obsolete technology like natural gas will lock us into emissions for decades. Instead, Evergy should make a plan with the City of Kansas City to build a solar array at the KC airport, a great idea that lost momentum when Trump killed tax credits. We need to focus on finding money elsewhere. |

I live in Kansas City, Mo. and am concerned about Evergy's plan to build a 710-Mw gas-fired power plant in Buchanan County. This, I think, is moving in the wrong direction. Climate mayhem is here, caused in large part by our continued burning of fossil fuels and our refusal to acknowledge the disastrous effects it causes. (see attached PDF) |

I urge you to oppose Evergy’s proposed 710-MW natural-gas power plant in Buchanan Cty (EA-2026-0343). This project would commit our community to decades of fossil-fuel infrastructure, air pollution, greenhouse-gas emissions, noise, land and water impacts, and potential harm to nearby residents, farms, wildlife, and property values. Evergy proposes to recover the build costs from ratepayers; its own filing cites heavy new loads—largely data centers—as a major driver of future demand. Missouri families and businesses should not bear the financial and environmental costs to build this plant for large industrial users. Please reject this case to protect Buchanan Cty residents and Missouri ratepayers from the costs and consequences. |

Please do not build a power plant in Frazier, or the "Buchanan Bluffs" area. This doesn't benefit us farmers at all, and it will most certainly disturb the peace and quiet out here. I'm concerned about the environmental damage and property values, the increase in traffic and potential for rerouting those of us that need to go by the area just to get to work. Please, find a suitable space within Saint Joseph city limits to build; don't destroy perfectly good farm ground. |

Please do not build a power plant in this area. Farmers and hunters in this area will be affected by such. This is a huge area for farm land and this could contaminate the soil and areas where there is livestock. This will also cause a loss of wildlife due pollution in the air and water. Not to mention the people who could potentially be affected by placement of a power plant in this area. Consider the surroundings, and place this in a suitable location within city limits, away from people’s homes and wildlife. |

I am writing to formally express my opposition to the proposed location of the combined cycle natural gas turbine. This project poses significant health risks to our community. Members of my family already experience health issues, and if this proposal moves forward, we will be forced to relocate for our safety. It is unjust to disrupt the lives of local residents—including my three sons, who are students at East Buchanan—in this manner. I urge you to reconsider the placement of this facility and prioritize the health and well-being of local families. |

I am writing to formally oppose Evergy’s proposed Combined Cycle Natural Gas Turbine Facility north of Frazier on E Highway, referenced in Case No. EA-2026-0343. I live in the Gower area, only a few miles downwind of the proposed location. This project would not affect only the neighboring properties—our entire community could experience its long-term effects. I am especially concerned about air emissions, possible health effects, noise and light pollution, increased industrial traffic, water usage, effects on nearby wells and farmland, and the potential decline in surrounding property values. *See Attached |

I strongly oppose Evergy’s proposed Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center Unit 2 (Case No. EA-2026-0343). I live approximately 9 miles from the proposed 710-MW natural-gas facility and am deeply concerned about its impact on our community. Please require evaluation of air emissions and health impacts, cumulative impacts of Units 1 and 2, water and environmental impacts, noise and traffic, and property values. Evergy’s filings indicate Unit 2 will share infrastructure with Unit 1 and costs will ultimately be recovered from ratepayers. Evaluate alternatives such as renewables, storage, efficiency and demand response. I respectfully ask the Commission to deny this application unless Evergy proves it is necessary and in the public interest. |

I would like to voice my opinion on the Combined Cycle Natural Gas Turbine Facility proposed to be built north of Frazier on E highway. I moved to the Frazier area to get away from all of the noise, congestion and pollution of the cities. The installation of the Turbine would be just beginning of all that I am trying to avoid coming back into my life. Please do not approve this. Many in this town do not want all that comes with it. I am sure you have heard all this and more from others, but I did want to make sure mine (and my wife's) opinion on this was heard. |

We do not think we should pay for the construction of this site and more importantly, we do not want the health risks. The fact that we are just now learning about this power plant is ridiculous. We do not want it near us. The citizens in this area should have a say in what affects us and our children. |

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed combined cycle natural gas turbine facility north of Frazier, Missouri, in Buchanan County. I believe this project would have significant and unacceptable impacts on the surrounding community and the residents who live nearby. First, the local Public Water Supply District (PWSD) will not be able to provide enough water to adequately support the facility. A project of this size should not be approved if the existing water infrastructure cannot reliably meet its demands without jeopardizing service to current residents. *See Attached |

I am wanting to give my concerns over the proposed site Evergy wants to buy 160 acres of land in Buchanan county to put on a turbine power plant. It is about 3 miles from our home. And 5 miles from the East Buchanan school district. WE DONT WANT IT!!!!! It will lower the value of our homes, hurt the farmland, ruin the beauty of the land. And most importantly hurt our health. We live in the country for peace and quiet. It is of no benefit to us. We are senior citizens on a fixed income and don’t want or need increased utility bills. We didn’t even know about this till over the weekend. It’s not right. PLEASE PROTECT OUR LAND, PROTECT OUR CHILDREN |

I am contacting you about my strong opposition of a new combined cycle natural gas turbine facility in Buchanan county on E highway near Frazier Missouri. I have concerns about health related issues caused by emissions from these plants. I am also concerned about increased traffic on a road that is in a residential area, and not built for large businesses. We have invested alot in to our property, and this project would likely decrease the value of what we have put so much work in to. There has also been concerns from the water board about not being able to supply enough water for the facility. I hope that they will find an alternate location that is not located by so many houses, and that is more suitable for a facility like this. |

We are especially concerned about the potential impact on our water supply, as well as noise, traffic, air, quality, safety, environmental concerns, the cost of utilities, and our quality of life. These are not just empty properties – these are homes where families live.

No I do not want my bills to increase. No. 2, many data centers have been canceled or put on hold in many cities and counties have moratoriums in place and companies are withdrawing plans to build data centers so new power plant isn’t even needed.

EA-2026-0343 Proposed Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center near Johnson Road, State Route E and State Route H. Evergy has acquired approximately 160 acres for this proposed 710-megawatt natural-gas POWER PLANT....... The project is intended to help meet substantial new electricity demand, including anticipated large-load growth of Data Centers. A project of this size could have a major impact on our local homes, farms, businesses, roads, environment, property values and utility costs, and most of all our HEALTH!!!! This Power Plant will also cause our energy bills to increase, as we are the ones helping to fund it!!!! I do not want a power plant that is right across the road from my residence.

I am making a complaint about Case No. EA-2026-0343. The proposed building of a power plant near Frazier is NOT good for our rural community, air quality, land and home values or traffic on our highways. In fact their are NO benefits to our community. Please stop the process and withdrawal from our community! |

Evergy did not work in good faith with the community surrounding the Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center. The community found out about the site, plans, and construction on September 11 with the final hearing on September 17. Concerns include an early learning center, traffic, air/land pollution.There were 25 other sites as options under consideration and the Johnson 1 site was added after the initial work had been done. The Sparta site was noted as the first choice. Evergy did not follow procedures and work through zoning but jumped to the state, intentionally ignoring community input as the site would not have been approved. Don't allow Evergy to make communities pay for services that only Evergy benefits from and that the community didn't want |

Evergy Missouri Metro and Evergy Missouri West are wanting to put a natural gas plant in Frazier, Mo. I want to put in a note that my household opposes this! Our children's health is at stake, because of this. The Joy of Learning Farm School, which 2 of our children attend roughly 2 miles away, will be GREATLY affected by the pollution that this plant would produce. Along with our public school that is within the potential risk radius, this also does not follow the Buchanan County planning/zoning mission statement: "To ensure the most appropriate use of land through planning and zoning while preserving natural, agricultural, historic and scenic resources." |

The proposed facility is a large-scale, continuously operating combined-cycle natural gas generating facility. Evergy’s filing also states that Unit 2 will be co-located with and developed jointly with the essentially identical Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center Unit 1, with the two facilities sharing significant infrastructure. The potential impacts to neighboring properties should therefore be considered based on the operation of the overall Buchanan Bluffs generating site. Consider real-world environmental, structural, quality-of-life, and transparency impacts facing the immediate community, adjacent residents, and local stakeholders near the proposed site, a perspective not fully represented by the general public or existing utility parties. |

I am writing as a concerned American to strongly oppose Evergy’s proposal to build the Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center Unit 2 on SE State Route E, just south of Highway 169. While I understand the need for reliable power, putting a massive 710-megawatt natural gas plant right here in our community is the wrong move. Natural gas facilities release airborne pollutants—like nitrogen oxides and fine particulates—that directly impact public health, raising real concerns about respiratory issues, air quality, and the long-term health of families living nearby.

We are asking that Evergy’s new power plant near Frazier Missouri (near county Highways E and H) would not be approved. There are many downsides to the new plant, ranging from disruption to country living to higher energy bill costs for maintenance. There is not a clear need for the extra power other than to support future Data Centers. This development is clearly part of the larger effort to proliferate AI hosting facilities even though the development of this technology has been fueled by false advertisement and fear-mongering descriptions. This technology is not financially viable at scale with the amount of resource it requires, so when the AI companies close the Data Centers, our community will left to pay the income differential. |

My name is Lisa Mccreary and I am a resident of Buchanan County. I am writing to you to formally lodge my complaint against the proposed 710 MW Evergy natural gas- fired combined cycle facility associated with case EA-2026-0343. As a resident of Buchanan Cnty and living within 1 mile of the proposed plant I strongly urge the Commision to halt or deny the certificate for this facility due to economic, environmental impacts and public health risks. These plants will emit millions of tons of carbon dioxide and methane gases into our area. I fear this will increase with the current administration stance on eliminating caps on emissions. As a rural area can the small water district provide the needed water and not affect our bill or consumption. |

This is in regards to the proposed 710 MW facility in Frazier, MO. I have grave concerns regarding health issues linked to the air pollution produced by this plant, the potential for pollution of fields and other agricultural resources provided by the miles of farm land surrounding the proposed facility, and the increased cost we as the direct consumers will be hit with to provide for many other locations who wont be impacted. We purchased our land in hopes to live our entire lives within a few miles of this plant, and this will directly impact our health as well as that of our young children. Please do not allow this to come here. The data centers it’s supposed to support were turned away. |

I am concerned about the health & safety risks caused by the proposed plant. My family, many friends & The Joy of Learning Farm School should not be at risk of contaminated/toxic air they will breathe. The East Buchanan School District is at risk too. We are talking about kids, adults and seniors who will be breathing the bad polluted air and could cause major health issues. I do not like the idea of my energy prices increasing before the proposed plant is even built, up and running. How do I know this sites energy production will stay local? This proposal has a major impact on the lives of the community of Frazier and Gower. They deserve fairness. |

This is in regards to the proposed power plant to be built off E Highway and 169 Highway in Buchanan County MO. The proposed site is within feet of several residences, just a few miles from pre-schools and primary schools, as well as a lot of population in general. Studies show that there is a radius around these plants that has caused health effects, ect. of existing plants. These general concerns should be enough in the initial decision making process that would keep a large corporation from picking an area such as this for a potential site. I understand the need, however, the effects have to be considered first. I would think the same size land on the KS side would be less impactful and provide the same power supply. |

If this is built all I see are the costs of living going up in more ways than one for my family and community. This site needs to change to be further along the pipeline.

I do not want to pay Evergy MORE so they can build a new 710 mw facility next door to people who knew nothing about it- to power more data centers. Data centers are being cancelled every day, there is no need for more energy just for data centers. Evergy has specifically said these build sites are for the increased demand from future data centers. My answer is no. Evergy West has already received an increase of almost 7% in 2025 (at least $8.00 per home) AND on September 1, 2026, Evergy received a fuel adjustment charge of over $4.00 a month added on to my already outrageous bill. Meanwhile, I am still paying for the storm of 2021 on my current bill. NO. MORE!! I am 100% against this facility. Consumers are overburdened already. Please |

I do not want to pay Evergy MORE so they can build a new 710 mw facility in Frazier, next to unregulated data centers. Data centers are being cancelled every day. There is no need for more energy just for data centers. Evergy has specifically said these build sites are for the increased demand from future data centers. My answer is no. Evergy West has already received an increase of almost 7% in 2025 (at least $8 per home) AND on Sept. 1, Evergy received a fuel adjustment charge of over $4 a month added on to my already outrageous bill. Meanwhile, I am still paying for the storm of 2021 on my current bill. It is hard enough paying for these increases now, we do not need to pay for something that may not occur. (See attached PDF) |

I do not want adverse exposure to affect the family, land, wildlife, and crops for future generations. 2. The health risks from breathing in toxic soot & nitrogen oxide are a big concern. 3. Where will the water come from that the plant needs? 4. Why should consumer rates increase for a corporate project? 5. The lack of transparency & timeline for impacted residents to have a say in this project is disappointing. Neighbors are already listing their homes to sell. 6.

I believe this proposed Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center will be a great detriment to my, my families, and my neighbors health, home, and community. This is a rural community that values our health and the health of our children. Our property is our greatest financial investment which most likely will be negatively impacted. Our rural water company would not be able to keep up with the increased demand of such a plant. I do not want my electric bill to increase to fund something that will not be for my direct benefit. Neighbors to this proposed site are already trying to sell their properties because they do not want to live by a 710 MW Power Plant.

Case EA-2026-0343 I am submitting this comment as a member of a local farm family with deep ties to Northwest Missouri. Our land, water, and rural communities are more than just places on a map.

I am concerned about the proposed Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center and the impact a project of this magnitude could have on the Agency & Gower communities.

Strongly Opposed for the following reasons: Air Quality Health risks to my children, Noise Pollution (including Low-Frequency Hum & Disturbance Patterns), Real Estate Impacts, and Safety Considerations. All of these negative externalities affect the local populations without any positives; electricity is being provided by United Co-op. Combustion byproducts for 1420 MW emits significant nitrogen Oxides, VOCs, and PM2.5 particulate. Where is the study from the prevailing wind carrying the pollution to St. Joseph? Low level constant hum noise pollution, disturbance patterns, and loud blow-off spikes. Studies show 5-15% property value depreciation for a 2 mile radius, does Evergy propose to compensate for this external obsolescence? |

I have some concerns about the proposed power plant. My main concerns are the large amount of water it could use in an area with limited resources, along with air emissions and their effect on local air quality. I’m also concerned that the increased electricity demand could lead to higher utility bills for local customers, while there may be no guaranteed benefits or revenue for the county and community. I’m concerned about landowners’ property rights if additional transmission lines, roads, or water lines are needed, as well as the potential decrease in surrounding land values. Finally, I’m concerned about the increased traffic, damage to local roads, & overall safety during construction & operation. Thank you for hearing my concerns. |

Significant questions remain about how the plant’s substantial water demand will be supplied when the local rural water district lacks capacity and how existing customers will be protected. Public health, air quality, water resources, infrastructure and the potential loss of property value for nearby landowners must be fully evaluated.

I am an Evergy customer. I understand the need for energy. However, it is markedly unfair for a powerplant to be located in an area where those most impacted by its presence do not use it. My understanding is that all for the proposed powerplant uses United. I also notice how the southern side of Buchanan County gets targeted for every unfavorable development while the northern area gets the nicer developments. It's also in farming and small town areas. I'm also wondering why the expansion and need. This will impact my future voting. The clear neglect of part of St. Joseph in favor of a small few is apparent. I also believe rural Missouri is being mismanaged. Ive never voted Democrat, but I'm considering a straight-run Dem ticket. |

When are you going to stop encroaching on our rural communities. They are already struggling with day to day living in this economy and now some company wants to move in and dump more on them.

The heightened respiratory health risks for small children living near the emissions of natural gas plants is a well known statistic.

Data centers are being cancelled every day, there is no need for more energy just for data centers. Evergy has specifically said these build sites are for the increased demand from future data centers. My answer is no. Evergy West has already received an increase of almost 7% in 2025 (at least $8.00 per home) AND on September 1, 2026, Evergy received a fuel adjustment charge of over $4.00 a month added on to my already outrageous bill. Meanwhile, I am still paying for the storm of 2021 on my current bill. NO. MORE!! |

Dear Commissioners: I am writing in my capacity as Mayor of the City of Gower, Missouri, a fourth-class city in northwest Missouri with a population of slightly more than 1,500 residents. I wish to formally express my disappointment and concern regarding the fact that Evergy has begun acquiring property and has filed an application with the Missouri Public Service Commission to construct a 710-megawatt generating facility in close proximity to our community without ever contacting the City of Gower to inform us of its plans.

I am writing as a resident of Southeast Buchanan county, Missouri, to formally state my strong opposition to Evergy’s application for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity to construct the Buchanan Bluffs Energy Center (Unit 1 and Unit 2) in Buchanan County. As a local ratepayer and community member directly impacted by this proposal, I urge the Commission to deny this request based on the following critical concerns: (See attached PDF) |

The customer expressed concerns about the proposed project being built in his area. He believes it will negatively impact electric rates and explained that the site is not in a rural or secluded area, but near homes. He does not want to see the resulting light pollution or other potential pollutants. The customer is a licensed real estate broker in Missouri for over 25 years and stated the project would lower nearby property values, including his own. He also questioned how sufficient water supply would be provided without new infrastructure and who would bear the cost, expressing concern about potential impacts on water bills. |

I live about four miles from Buchanan Bluffs. Unit 1 would be owned by Evergy Kansas Central, but it would be built and generate electricity in Missouri. Section 386.250 RSMo extends PSC jurisdiction to the manufacture, sale or distribution of electricity within this state. The Missouri Supreme Court has also stated that a utility with generating plants in Missouri cannot avoid regulation merely by arranging for all sales to occur elsewhere. Evergy should not be allowed to move Unit 1 forward without Missouri review simply by assigning its ownership and costs to Kansas. I ask the Commission to stop Unit 1 until it receives a full jurisdictional review and the same Missouri approval required for Unit 2. |

The customer said they are opposed to the project because they believe it will be harmful to people in the area both health‑wise and financially. The customer stated that families have built their futures around this area and the project would disrupt that. They are concerned it will increase electric rates and feel it is unfair that Kansas customers will benefit while Missouri customers bear the cost. |

I oppose to the powerplant being developed at the proposed location. I have concerns about the health and safety of my 3 young children, the environmental, light pollution. I am concerned about the quality of life we have out here being disrupted. There is a farm school very close to the location as well that is concerning. The negative effect land prices, this would really negatively impact the farmland. |

Please no power plant. It’s very very unhealthy. Homes surround the area of E and H Hwy in Buchanan county. 2 people already put there homes up for sale. This is no benefit to us. Higher electric and water bills, and we are seniors on fixed income. Already have enough health issues. Moved to the country for peace and quiet and better air. Please please please NO POWER PLANTS NO DATA CENTERS. This is so scary for our children and grandchildren, future generations are counting on us to give them safe homes and environment. |

As a resident of Gower Missouri we do not want or desire there to be a utility plant of this size near our small town. Our small town does not have the infrastructure to support this plant and the waste that will come from it would harm our town. |

The customer said their family moved to the country to avoid heavy traffic, but they live only 1–2 miles off the highway where driving is already dangerous on two‑lane roads. The customer believes the proposed project will worsen traffic, directly affect their family’s health, lower property values, and bring urban impacts into the area. They also expressed concerns about safety for children and the overall decline of the community. |

The customer said people in the area were not properly informed about the project and that Missouri needs to step back and focus on protecting residents. The customer is concerned about impacts on farmland, air, water, and noise. They do not support the project and question why it is being built to benefit Kansas customers. The customer stated there is more open land across the river and that fertile Missouri farmland is being lost. Their family farm, established in 1849, is surrounded by new development, which they find alarming. They want safeguards in place for the future so the farm can be passed down without fear of what may happen. |

I oppose EA-2026-0343. We had very little notice that this was being planned. I am concerned about the air, light and noise pollution that is associated with this project. We have 4 young children that we are concerned about their health- along with the health of the rest of the community. My wife and I live out in the country so that we could avoid this type of situation. Now we are being faced with living next to a power station that we will have to see and hear 24/7. Also, this will cause a decrease in property value that no one will compensate us for. I have invested into my home and property. I am also concerned with the increase in our utility rates to pay for this. |

I have spent a considerable amount of time reading Evergy's filings, researching comparable facilities, reviewing documents and correspondence, talking with other residents, and trying to understand what this project will actually mean for the people who already live here. The more I have learned, the more questions I have. (See attached PDF) |

The proposal to construct a power plant of this magnitude that will be located across the street from homes and less than 2 miles from a school presents severe and unavoidable risks to the town’s residents, environment, and long-term stability. Gower is a small rural community where homes, schools, livestock operations, and agricultural land are tightly concentrated around the proposed site. (see related PDF) |
