Monarch Energy Data Center Land Option (Colwich / Andale)
Monarch Energy. Rumored
San Diego based Monarch Energy, which pivoted from green hydrogen to data center development in 2024, has signed purchase and sale agreements for more than 300 acres between 215th and 183rd streets west, off 53rd Street North, near Colwich and Andale in Sedgwick County. Sedgwick County has extended its data center moratorium a third time, through December 24, 2026, and as of late September 2026 the county said it had received no formal zoning application from either Monarch or NextEra. A public hearing on the county's draft data center regulations remains set for November 12, 2026, with commissioners aiming to adopt final rules by a December 16 meeting.
