Monarch Cement and Evergy Energy Solutions have completed a 39-hectare solar array with a capacity of 20MW. The facility was inaugurated with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by representatives from both companies. This project will supply up to 33% of Monarch's Humboldt cement plant's energy needs.

Project Details

The solar power project took three years to complete and is located on Monarch’s property at 1311 Florida Road in Humboldt, Kansas. The project includes the planting of native pollinator-friendly grasses and plants by Evergy, which will boost underground biomass, improve water infiltration, and offer the potential to capture CO₂. This approach reduces water demand compared to conventional power generation.

Company Involvement

Monarch Cement and Evergy Energy Solutions collaborated on this project, with both companies attending the inauguration ceremony. The completion of this project marks a significant milestone for Monarch Cement in terms of its energy sourcing and sustainability efforts. The project's completion is a notable development for Monarch Cement, and its impact on the company's energy needs and environmental footprint will be significant, with the solar array providing up to 33% of the Humboldt cement plant's energy needs, and the company is now benefiting from this new solar power project.
