Beale Infrastructure· De Soto, Kansas· pre_permit
Beale Infrastructure, a data center development company backed by Blue Owl Capital Inc., is planning to double the size of their proposed data center campus in De Soto, Kansas. The project is described as being built in two phases, indicating a significant expansion from their original proposal. This represents a meaningful data center development opportunity in the Kansas City metro area by a specialized developer with institutional backing. The timing appears to be in early planning stages, making this a high-priority lead for vendors and service providers looking to engage with new data center projects in the Midwest market.
Evergy Files Utility Request for Data Center
Evergy
Evergy, a major utility serving Kansas and Missouri, is planning a massive $21.6 billion capital investment to meet surging power demand, largely driven by data center growth and electrification trends. This significant utility spending signals anticipated large-scale load growth in the region, which could attract and support new data center developments. The investment underscores how utilities across the US are ramping up infrastructure to accommodate the power-hungry facilities that hyperscalers and colocation providers are seeking to build.
