While a majority of Kansans rely on power companies to give them electricity, some do not have to because they have their own power supply. Dozens of Kansas communities are part of a public power group, and they each provide their own power almost like an engine. The engines are run by diesel in Mulvane at its power plant. “They are big, and they are loud,” said Brad Modlin, utility director. The engines can be anywhere between 600 to 800 degrees hot.
