The new platform enables organizations to create customized practice environments based on their specific business needs. Learners can rehearse various workplace-related conversations, including pitching ideas, resolving conflicts, negotiating agreements, providing feedback, coaching, and preparing for interviews.
According to Eren Bali, the company's founder and CTO, Role Play is Udemy's latest strategy to help learners master soft skills. He said: 'At Udemy, we understand that the most effective way to master soft skills is through practice and feedback. Role Play is a great example of the power of bringing together human expertise (through Udemy creators) and AI.'
Role Play provides immediate feedback to help learners develop skills that drive career advancement and organizational success. Frank Kane, a top-rated Udemy tech instructor, commented, 'I've created three Role Play exercises already, and I have to say – this borders on magic! Learners are now able to practice what they learn through real-time conversations, receiving immediate feedback.'
The AI-powered learning tool Role Play builds on Udemy's Innovation Studio, launched earlier this month on May 7. The Innovation Studio aims to accelerate experimentation in learning experience development. It also focuses on developing multi-modal learning experiences and personalized AI pathways to transform how skills are taught and learned.

Avangrid Achieves Milestone with 80 Power Generation Projects in Operation

ORANGE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced that it has placed its 80 th U.S. power generation project into operation, marking a major milestone for the company as it provides energy to homes and businesses in 23 states across the country. Over the past six months, Avangrid announced that it achieved commercial operation on three new solar projects in Texas, Ohio, and California, adding nearly 600 megawatts (MW) to the grid, enough energy to power over 100,000 homes. This achievement builds on Avangrid's commitment to helping the nation meet its growing demand for energy while bolstering the U.S. economy. 'For over two decades, Avangrid has been delivering energy to homes and businesses across the nation, and today that portfolio has grown to 80 facilities spanning from coast to coast,' said Jose Antonio Miranda, Avangrid CEO. 'Achieving this milestone comes at a critical time as we work to bring new energy capacity online to meet growing electricity demand from a variety of sources, particularly the construction of new data centers. In just the past six months, Avangrid has achieved commercial operation at three new projects, demonstrating our ability to meet the needs of our customers and bring needed capacity to increasingly strained electric grids. We will continue to collaborate with our partners as we work to secure American energy independence and support jobs and economic growth across the U.S.' In March 2025, Avangrid announced that it achieved commercial operations at its True North Solar project in Falls County, Texas. This 321 MWdc project is supporting Meta's operations, including its upcoming data center in Temple, TX. In June 2025, Avangrid announced commercial operations at Camino Solar, a 57 MWdc project in Kern County, California as well as commercial operations at Powell Creek Solar, a 202 MWdc project in Putnam County, Ohio. Communities across the country realize tangible economic and social benefits thanks to Avangrid's portfolio of projects. These 80 operating projects supported over 12,000 jobs (direct, indirect, and induced) last year. Additionally, the company's power generation business contributed $112 million in taxes to state and local jurisdictions, paid $97 million in lease payments, and delivered $2.1 million in community support in 2024. Avangrid, including its power generation business and regulated utilities in the Northeast, has also grown its support of U.S. companies through its supply chain, investing $4.3 billion with U.S. companies last year. In Oregon and Washington, for example, Avangrid has a large business office, its National Control Center, National Training Center, and approximately 3.0 GW of generating capacity, representing a key region for the company. Avangrid's operations support approximately 500 jobs and paid nearly $30 million in taxes, combined across both states. 'For many years, Avangrid has been a valuable member of Oregon's business community and has played an important role in providing Oregonians with reliable energy,' said Angela Wilhelms, president and CEO of Oregon Business and Industry. 'Avangrid has been a leader in the energy industry in the Northwest for many years, with a talented local workforce, innovative operations, and competitive solutions for power customers around the country,' said Spencer Gray, executive director of the Northwest & Intermountain Power Producers Coalition. 'I congratulate Avangrid on reaching this milestone and continuing its track record of excellence as an independent power generator.' With energy demand expected to surge over the next decade, largely due to the construction of new data centers, Avangrid's ability to bring new energy projects is vital. The company already has approximately 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of capacity that supports data centers with an additional 650 MW under construction or will be under construction soon. Avangrid is actively working on new projects that will help meet expected energy demand growth in the coming years. In March 2025, Avangrid announced its plan to invest $20 billion in U.S. electrical grid infrastructure through the end of the decade. The plan reflects the critical need to invest in energy infrastructure to meet growing demand, as well as the United States' position as a top investment priority for Avangrid and Iberdrola. About Avangrid: Avangrid, Inc. is a leading energy company in the United States working to meet the growing demand for energy for homes and businesses across the nation through service, innovation, and continued investments by expanding grid infrastructure and energy generation projects.
