The Challenge
Mitigating project risks while incorporating BESS
Enel Green Power (Enel GP), an Italian multinational renewable energy corporation, was building its first wind farm + battery storage project, consisting of 79 wind turbines at their Azure Sky Wind Farm in Throckmorton, Texas. The project needed to be completed within a few months to meet a power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply power to end customers. Timely connection is imperative in order to avoid a number of critical risks, including reputational risk to the company, default on contractual and legal commitments, and construction risks.
In pursuit of its goals to reach Net Zero emissions from its power mix by 2050, Enel was committed to finding the greenest way to connect their wind turbines quickly, efficiently, and effectively. As part of their company-wide Net Zero goals, Enel also prioritized sustainability as they selected a provider for timely grid emulation and commissioning services.
