Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Last week, Enel SpA's (Rome, Italy) North American unit said it reached more than 10 gigawatts (GW) of installed wind and solar capacity as well as more than 1 GW of utility-scale battery storage. Industrial Info is tracking $8.6 billion worth of project activity from Enel and its subsidiaries in the U.S.
"Enel North America remains committed to expanding its clean energy portfolio with its over 28 GW development pipeline of wind, solar and storage projects in markets across the US and Canada, guided by financial sustainability and selective investments," the company said in a March 14 press release.
Enel said in the press release that it operates Texas' largest portfolio of battery energy storage systems (BESS), with 1.3 GW of installed capacity. Industrial Info is tracking just one BESS development under construction from Enel in the U.S., which happens to be in the Lone Star State. The Estonian solar-plus storage project in Cooper, Texas, on the eastern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, is expected to provide roughly 306 MW of solar and BESS capacity to the ERCOT grid when it goes online in late 2024. The solar plant is expected to utilize First Solar Incorporated's (NASDAQ:FSLR) (Tempe, Arizona) Series 6 photovoltaic (PV) panels to provide about 205 MW of solar generation, while the roughly 102-MW BESS will utilize lithium-ion technology. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can read detailed reports on the solar and BESS projects.

Meanwhile, Enel's highest-valued project being tracked by Industrial Info is in Colorado, with a medium probability (70-80%) of kicking off construction by the end of the year. Sitting on 115,000 acres, the proposed 700-MW, $800 million Cow Creek wind project in Cheyenne Wells is designed to utilize 167 wind turbines, each rated at roughly 4.2 MW. Also in Colorado and planned for kickoff by the end of the year is the proposed 400-MW, $400 million Bijou Hills wind project in Simla. Construction of both projects is expected to take a year to complete. Subscribers can read more information on the Cow Creek and Bijou Hills projects.
In Oklahoma, Enel is gearing up for construction of its $260 million Cedar Run Windfarm in Lincoln and Creek counties, which would utilize 50 3-MW turbines to generate 150 MW of wind power, to begin in September. The project is expected to wrap up around the end of 2025. Click here for the project report.
Among Enel's solar projects in the U.S. is its $108 million Raleigh Solar project in Beaver, West Virginia, which is expected to wrap up at the end of March. The new facility will provide 90 MW of solar power by utilizing 250,000 PV panels on a single-axis tracking system. Subscribers can click here to read the project report.
