German company Enercon has secured a contract from Turkish renewable energy company Polat Enerji for the supply of wind turbines totalling 110.5MW capacity.
The order will support the expansion of three wind farms across Türkiye, enhancing the country’s renewable energy infrastructure.
Enercon will deliver 17 E-160 EP5 turbines for the Yalova/Göktepe 4 wind farm project, two E-160 EP5 turbines for the Kırşehir/Geycek 3 wind farm project, and two E-82 turbines for the İzmir/Ege 3 wind farm project.
The projects signify a substantial investment in Türkiye’s wind energy capabilities.
Included in the agreement is a comprehensive 15-year operation and maintenance package providing availability and spare parts guarantees for all three sites.
The E-160 EP5 E2 turbine, a model based on the EP5 platform, is particularly suited for medium-to-low wind sites and has a nominal output of 5.50MW.
It has been engineered to offer a variety of project-specific configuration options and features, catering to diverse operational needs.
This enables efficient energy production and is complemented by the availability of four different hub heights, allowing for customisation based on site requirements.
Enercon CCO Uli Schulze Südhoff stated: “We are pleased to extend our activities together with Polat Enerji in Türkiye. Another proof that our product portfolio fits ideally the local framework and wind conditions.”
Enercon regional head CAMEA Arif Günyar stated: “The latest contract signing means also advancing our technology towards more hybrid solutions together with our customer.
‘In the case of Göktepe wind farm, it is planned to integrate a battery storage system connected to the turbines. The cooperation with Polat Enerji can therefore serve as an example to support similar projects in the future with our portfolio.”
