About the project
Supporting sustainable communities in Oklahoma
The Origin wind farm was the third Enel project to start production in Oklahoma. Situated in Carter, Garvin and Murray counties, Oklahoma, its capacity of 150 MW is enough to generate 650 GWh of energy annually. It’s doing its part to create a healthier environment by mitigating over 700,000 tons of CO2 emissions a year.
As the second-largest wind operator in Oklahoma, Enel Green Power’s portfolio represents 2 GW of operating capacity and $3 billion in investment in the state. Enel recently opened a new office and state-of-the-art training center in Midtown Oklahoma City to prepare our future energy leaders.

Community Impact
Enel Green Power is committed to creating long-term shared value and opportunities for rural economic development and long-term sustainability in its host communities. The company has expanded its office space in Oklahoma City to include classroom and state-of-the-art wind turbine technician training space to help meet its growing workforce needs.
Notably, Enel partnered with landowners, Chuck and Ruth Coffey, at Origin Wind Farm, who were recipients of the prestigious 2019 Oklahoma Leopold Conservation Award for their sustainable farming practices that integrate clean energy generation and inspire land stewardship in Oklahoma.
Enel’s impact in Oklahoma includes the creation of over 130 permanent jobs and over $2 million in support for community initiatives.

Digital Initiatives
In building wind farms, we deploy innovative tools and techniques, such as construction machinery equipped with active safety systems, smart tracking, advanced digital platforms and tablet software solutions to monitor and remotely support site activities, as well as plant commissioning. These processes and tools will enable swifter, more accurate and reliable data collection, thereby improving the quality of construction and facilitating communication between on-site and off-site teams. Smart glasses, 360-degree cameras and drones are used to perform virtual site visits, safety inspections and gather more information about the site.
