The Lake Road power plant, located in Buchanan County, Missouri, is a 278.4 MW hybrid facility owned by Evergy and operated by Evergy Missouri West. Commissioned in 1950, the plant utilizes a mix of natural gas and petroleum liquids as its primary fuels, employing both natural gas-fired combustion turbine and natural gas steam turbine technologies across its seven generators. The plant operates within the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) balancing authority and the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) NERC region.
In the most recent year of data, Lake Road generated 49,979 MWh of electricity, resulting in a capacity factor of 2.0%. The plant ranks as the 15th largest in Missouri out of 20 facilities and 670th nationally out of 945.

EIA-860 direct report
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
