Kansas – Central, Connected, and Cost-Effective
Kansas offers a compelling combination of a central US location, competitive power costs, and a strong renewable energy profile. For businesses requiring low-latency connectivity to both coasts or a strategic disaster recovery site, Kansas provides a reliable and economical infrastructure hub. This location is ideal for logistics, content delivery networks, and enterprise applications that serve a nationwide user base.
Kansas: At A Glance
| Factor | Rating / Data | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Global Connectivity Grade | B | Solid connectivity for a central US location. |
| Direct Cloud On-Ramps | 0 – as of September 2025 | Nearest hubs are in Kansas City and Dallas; access via private network extensions. |
| Power Cost | $0.07 - $0.09/kWh (est.) | Driven by a strong mix of wind energy and traditional sources. |
| Disaster Risk | High (FEMA Score: 87.18) | Main risks are weather-related; modern facilities are built to mitigate these threats. |
| Tax Incentives | Yes | Proposed sales tax exemption for data center equipment lowers capital costs. |
| Sales Tax | 6.50% (State Rate) – as of Midyear 2025 | Local taxes may apply in addition to the statewide rate. |
Network & Connectivity Ecosystem
Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: Kansas features 11 data centers with service from over a dozen regional and national carriers, as of September 2025. Carrier-neutral facilities in Wichita and the Kansas City metro area offer diverse connectivity options for redundancy and performance.
Direct Cloud On-Ramps: As of September 2025, there are no direct public cloud on-ramps within Kansas. However, all major cloud providers are accessible via low-latency private network connections to primary hubs in nearby Kansas City and Dallas.
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): Public peering is limited within the state. Most network interconnection occurs through private peering within local data centers or via regional exchanges like KCIX in neighboring Kansas City, Missouri.
Bare Metal: Bare metal server options are available from providers operating within the region. Companies like Hivelocity can serve Kansas customers with dedicated infrastructure for performance-intensive workloads.
Power Analysis
Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity rates in Kansas are competitive, estimated between $0.07 and $0.09 per kWh, as of September 2025. This pricing, combined with a high percentage of renewable generation, creates significant operational savings for power-dense deployments.
Power Grid Reliability: The state's power grid is reliable, supported by a diverse generation portfolio that includes approximately 40% from wind power. Data center corridors feature well-engineered infrastructure with access to redundant power feeds, ensuring high levels of uptime.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate
Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers in Kansas are strategically located to serve the business districts of Wichita and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. This proximity is valuable for the region's prominent aerospace, manufacturing, logistics, and telecommunications industries.
Regional Market Reach: Kansas's central location is its greatest strategic advantage. It provides an ideal midpoint for data replication and serving content to end-users across the continental United States with balanced, low latency.
Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Kansas offers significant financial incentives for data center operators. A proposed state-level sales tax exemption on data center equipment, software, and construction materials directly lowers the high capital cost of building or expanding facilities.
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. The primary risks are atmospheric and geological, requiring that facilities be designed and built to modern resiliency standards.
Key environmental risks include tornadoes, strong winds, hail, winter weather, and drought. While the overall score is high, the risk from any single event can be effectively mitigated through site selection and hardened infrastructure common in mission-critical data center design.
