MidAmerican Energy to expand, improve service center

July 26, 2019

MidAmerican Energy is making almost $3 million in updates to its Sioux Falls service center.

The center, which is at 1200 S. Blauvelt Ave., is not open to the public. Instead, it’s where up to 60 members of MidAmerican’s gas and electric team serve the Sioux Falls area.

“This is where they office and work from and store equipment and maintain equipment,” media relations manager Geoff Greenwood said. “It is a company hub for employees.”

The MidAmerican area office at 1914 S. Sycamore Ave. is the public-facing office in Sioux Falls, handling customer billing at other administration functions.

The Blauvelt building has been in use since the 1950s and needs renovating, Greenwood said.

“So we are transitioning to an open-office remodel, which is what we do in our other facilities,” he said.

“There are individual desks, but there are not private offices. We have meeting rooms we call enclaves that anybody can go into. The desks are in pods. We have desks that move up and down, so you can stand and sit, but the desks are assigned to an employee.”

The utility also is adding a garage for its trucks, which used to park outside. That’s about a $2 million investment.

The office renovation is scheduled to take six to nine months, and employees will operate from temporary office space until it’s ready.

MidAmerican is based in Des Moines. It serves more than 66,000 customers in Sioux Falls and has about 101,000 accounts in South Dakota.
