Kansas Geological Survey Receives Donation From Nextera Energy Resources for Continued Research

The Kansas Geological Survey has received a $10,000 donation from NextEra Energy Resources, one of America’s largest energy infrastructure developers, earmarked for the development of an experimental solar array in southwest Kansas. 

This donation represents a key component of NextEra Energy Resources’ commitment to environmental stewardship. In addition to NextEra Energy Resources, KGS has partnered with farmers, local electrical utilities and others to co-develop a system to generate power, benefit farmers and extend the life of the aquifer in the region.

“Groundwater is essential to the future of agriculture and communities across Kansas,” said Sam Zipper, assistant scientist at KGS and assistant professor in the KU Department of Geology.
