JUNE 2025 Community Impact Report

General Manager’s

Report

Our commitment to reliability was front and center this month as
our Electric Control Center recorded a peak system load of 434
megawatts on June 23, demonstrating the strength of our system
and the responsiveness of our operations team. We announced
BPU’s participation in the Ninnescah Flats Solar Energy Center, a
regional energy resource capable of generating up to 200
megawatts of clean power. Through this shared generation
agreement, BPU continues to diversify our energy mix while
expanding access to more sustainable resources.

This month’s progress extended across every corner of the
organization — from our Finance team completing the 2024
ACFR under new leadership, to our Information Technology team
launching Maximo Mobile to improve our service delivery. Our
Water Production crews helped save more than $200,000 by
self-performing key electrical upgrades at the treatment plant,
further demonstrating the value of in-house expertise.

We continued showing up for the community, volunteering over
150 hours with local agencies and presenting to various groups
across Wyandotte County. We also celebrated five employee
promotions, and participated in BPU’s first-ever C-Suite open
panel, hosted by our employee-led Culture Club — a new way to
elevate transparency, vision, and leadership development across
the utility.

As always, I’m proud of the teamwork behind these efforts. This
report highlights our ongoing investment in people, systems, and
services — all in support of the customers and neighbors we
serve.
