Enel commissions two wind parks in the United States (173 MW)

Italian energy group Enel, through its subsidiary Enel Green Power North America, has commissioned two wind projects in Oklahoma (United States).



The 108 MW Drift Sand project worth US$180m, located in Grady County, is expected to generate around 480 GWh/year. The 65 MW Chisholm View II wind project, worth US$90m, is an expansion of the existing 235 MW Chisholm View wind and increases the plant's capacity to 300 MW. Located in Grant and Garfield Counties, the project is expected to generate around 240 GWh/year, enough to supply 19,000 U.S. households while avoiding 126 ktCO₂/year. The parks' generation will be sold under bundled, long-term power purchase agreements.



With the commissioning of these two parks, EGPNA now manages the second largest wind capacity in Oklahoma with 8 wind parks totalling 952 MW. The company operates more than 2.6 GW of wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower plants in 23 US states and two Canadian provinces.
