Evergy is proposing to construct the line beginning at the Buffalo Flats Substation near Garden Plains, Kansas and ending at the Delaware Substation near Delaware, Oklahoma. The public hearings will give Kansas residents an opportunity to learn more about the proposed location of the line, ask questions, and make public comments before the Commission.  Prior to each hearing, Commission Staff and Evergy representatives will be present at an Open House to answer questions and discuss maps of the proposed route.

The first public hearing will be held on Wednesday, January 7 at Sedan High School, 416 Elm St. in Sedan, KS. The open house will run from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. The Public Hearing will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The second public hearing will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8 at the Richardson Performing Arts Center at Southwestern College, 100 N. College St. in Winfield, KS. An open house will be held from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Christy Room 201. Both are located in the Christy Administration Building.

Anyone unable to attend in person may participate by Zoom with advance registration by noon the day prior to the hearing. The Commission is also accepting written comments through 5 p.m. CST, January 23, 2026.
