Network & Connectivity Ecosystem
With 11 data centers and over a dozen network providers, Kansas offers a reliable connectivity ecosystem, particularly strong for its geography.
Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: The market features access to over 12 carriers, as of September 2025. This provides sufficient diversity for creating redundant network architectures connecting to the rest of the country. Carrier-neutral facilities are available, primarily in the Kansas City and Wichita metro areas.
Direct Cloud On-Ramps: There are no direct public cloud on-ramps within Kansas, as of September 2025. Businesses connect to cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure via dedicated circuits to major interconnection hubs in Kansas City, Missouri, or Dallas, Texas.
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): Public peering is limited within the state. Most network traffic exchange occurs through private peering arrangements within local data centers or via the Kansas City Internet eXchange (KCIX) in neighboring Missouri.
Bare Metal: Bare metal server options are available from providers operating within the region. Companies like Hivelocity can provide dedicated server solutions from nearby edge locations, serving the Kansas market effectively.
Power Analysis
Kansas stands out for its progressive energy policy, which directly benefits data center operators through cost and sustainability.
Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity rates typically range from $0.07 to $0.09 per kWh, as of September 2025. This competitive pricing is a direct result of the state's diverse energy generation, helping to lower total cost of ownership for power-intensive operations.
Power Grid Reliability: The power grid is well-engineered and reliable. The energy mix features approximately 40% from wind and 60% from fossil fuels (coal and natural gas). This high percentage of renewable energy makes Kansas a strong choice for companies with sustainability mandates.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate
Kansas provides a business-friendly environment combined with strategic geographic advantages.
Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers in Kansas serve the key business hubs of Wichita, Topeka, and the Kansas City metropolitan area. These locations support major industries including aerospace, manufacturing, logistics, and telecommunications.
Regional Market Reach: From its central position, Kansas can effectively serve the entire Midwest, from Denver to St. Louis and from Dallas to Chicago. This makes it an ideal location for disaster recovery sites and for distributing content to the heart of the country.
Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Kansas offers significant financial incentives for data center operators. Proposed legislation provides a sales tax exemption on the purchase of data center equipment, software, and infrastructure, which can dramatically reduce the capital expenditure required for new builds or expansions.
Natural Disaster Risk
Kansas has a High natural disaster risk profile, with a FEMA National Risk Index score of 87.18, as of September 2025. While the overall score is high, the risks are well-understood and can be mitigated with modern data center design and site selection.
The primary risks for the region include tornados, strong winds, hail, and ice storms. Other notable risks are drought, heat waves, and riverine flooding. Data center facilities in the area are purpose-built to withstand the most common weather-related threats, ensuring high levels of uptime and operational resilience.
