Power restored following another shutoff at Towne West
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A situation at Wichita’s westside mall that’s seemingly become inevitable over the past several months again reached a resolution Tuesday afternoon. Towne West Square temporarily lost power due to its owner being late to pay the electric bill.
Evergy provided the following explanation:
“Kohan Retail Investment Group has again fallen delinquent on the electricity bill for Towne West Mall, and Evergy disconnected service at the mall. The larger stores at the mall have separate accounts that remain in good standing and are not subject to disconnection.”
Tuesday afternoon, a shop owner at the mall confirmed the power was restored.

Hydropower — electricity generated by turbines capturing energy from moving water — was for many years the primary contributor of renewable energy to the U.S. electricity grid. Its growth was rapid into the 1970s, and since then has offered a stable supply of power, while a declining share of all generation. For many years, hydropower was seen as clean energy and an unalloyed good, but a greater understanding of the impact of dams on ecosystems and wildlife has led to the removal of some dams. As of 2019, hydropower trails wind as a renewable source of power generation.
