Enel Green Power announces new office and training center in Midtown OKC

Chamber member Enel Green Power announced it has started construction on its 13th wind farm in Oklahoma, the Seven Cowboy wind project in Kiowa and Washita counties, and is expanding its office presence in Oklahoma City. With a $3 billion wind portfolio in the state, the company has been present in Oklahoma for a decade and invests in rural communities across the state. Now, Enel is doubling down on its commitment to OKC with a new office and training space in Midtown.

TRAINING

Enel operates 11 wind farms in Oklahoma with two more under construction. As the company works to develop even more projects, it’s also developing Oklahoma’s clean energy workforce. Enel’s innovative new office space will include classrooms and state-of-the art simulation facilities for working inside wind turbines. Courses will include topics like safety, professional development, working at heights, ladder rescues, turbine repair and troubleshooting. Trainees will learn in multiple settings including classroom discussion, hands-on simulation and virtual reality. Oklahoma’s wind workers will simulate the experience of climbing and maintaining a wind turbine with trainings held year-round right in the heart of Midtown OKC.

OFFICE & MEETING SPACE

As Enel continues hiring in Oklahoma, the company is expanding its office capacity to support up to 25 employees. Currently, Enel has over 120 positions open across a variety of remote and in-person Oklahoma roles. In addition to hosting employees, Enel’s convenient location in the heart of OKC will allow the company to engage with state and local stakeholders from across Oklahoma and host meetings and events.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Enel Green Power is invested in the long-term sustainability of its host communities. The company has provided over $2 million in voluntary support to local partners across the state – above and beyond the tens of millions of dollars its projects have generated in local tax revenue and payments to landowners. The classroom and meeting space in Enel’s new Midtown office will allow the company to welcome school groups and other community organizations to learn about renewable energy and STEM concepts first-hand from experts and education partners.

SUSTAINABILITY

As with Enel’s renewable energy projects, the buildout of this office space will follow the company’s Sustainable Construction Site model to minimize waste and use of resources. Additionally, the company will install two Enel X electric vehicle chargers to bring even more smart EV charging availability to downtown OKC.
