    Nordex to supply 125MW in Turkey

     

    Nordex has signed deals to supply and service 125MW across four wind farms in Turkey.

    The German manufacturer will sell 38 of its N100 2.5MW turbines to Eksim Holding with the Hasanbeyli wind farm in eastern Turkey, close to the town of Osmaniye, getting 20. The remaining 18 will be installed at a project close to Silivri, near Istanbul, and both schemes are slated to be grid-connected by the autumn.

    Elsewhere, Nordex is supplying repeat customer Dost Enerji  with 12 of its N90 2.5MW turbines. One will be added to the Yuntdag wind farm to the north of Izmir which marked Nordex’s first foray into the Turkish market in 2007 and currently features 23 of its machines. The remaining 11 turbines will be installed at the Geres wind farm near Yuntdag.

    Nordex management board member Lars Bondo Krogsgaard said: “We are delighted our long-standing customers Dost Enerji and Eksim Holding have again opted for Nordex turbines. As well as this, it testifies to two superb partnerships in the Turkish wind power market, which is characterised by strong growth potential and excellent wind conditions.”

    Eksim Holding coordinator of renewable energy Dr Ruchan Hamamci said: “We are operating wind farms with a capacity of 140MW and will be adding a further 95MW to this with our Hasanbeyli and Silivri wind farms. Nordex has supplied us with reliable and efficient wind power systems allowing us to come closer to reaching our goal from day to day.”
