Our goal is not to miss a single breath of wind.
My name’s Antonello Marini, I'm 42 years old,
I've been working at Enel for 14 years,
and I'm currently in charge of wind power for the Sardinia area
We’re in Portoscuso.
Our facility is made up of a total of 39 turbines.
We have an installed capacity of 90 megawatts.
This is one of the five wind farms located in Sardinia.
I coordinate a team of ten people:
we look after everyaspects of the facility,
meaning we deal with both the technical side, i.e.,
the performance of the equipment,
and the management the replacement parts.
but we also have a strong connection with the local area,
because we are and represent Enel Green Power within the region.
To be able to carry out maintenance operations, or to climb up onto a wind turbine,
a specific training is required.
All our guys have completed a GWO (Global Wind Organization) training course,
which gives them the necessary training on all the PPE required
to be able to climb and operate safely,
as well as to climb down off the turbine in an emergency,
almost as if they’re actually climbers.
If we consider technical innovation,
and how our facilities have developed through that innovation,
the advances we’ve made have been incredible,
and in some cases we’ve been pioneers.
I've also seen how innovation has become key in other areas too:
safety, environment, the use of technology.
To wear this logo, to go around with our PPE and knowing
that people understand what we’re doing here, it’s a source of great pride,
because with our energy
we’re now driving forward the energy transition process,
especially as far as Sardinia is concerned,
which is the Green Island, our Green Island,
and we’re working hard
and with great commitment to achieve this goal.
Of course, we’re just guests here on this beautiful island,
so our relationship with the people who live and work here is vital.
Starting with the farmers,
they see these facilities as their own.
It’s imperative that we look after our environment,
as well as the resources that the world provides for us,
because here we aren’t just producing energy
for families or for the whole of Sardinia,
we’re writing an important page
in the future of our planet.
