The German company ENERCON has signed a contract for the supply of 20 latest-generation wind turbines for the Aydin-Denizli wind farm, located in western Turkey. The agreement, reached with the operator RT Enerji during the WindEurope fair held in Madrid, covers a total capacity of 140 MW.
This project is part of the YEKA 5 tender promoted by the Turkish Ministry of Energy.
State-of-the-art turbines for new wind farm in Turkey
The supply includes the E-175 EP5 E2 model, considered the most advanced equipment in ENERCON’s portfolio. With a rated power of 7.0 MW and a rotor diameter of 175 meters, this turbine is among the highest performing in the onshore wind power segment in Europe.
In addition, the units will be installed on steel towers with a hub height of 112 meters, which optimizes wind capture in variable conditions.
The contract also marks the entry of this model into the Turkish market, in line with the company’s international expansion strategy. ENERCON plans to manufacture key components in Turkey through agreements with local partners, complying with the national content requirements established in the energy tenders.
On the other hand, this agreement represents the first collaboration between ENERCON and RT Enerji, a major operator in the onshore wind power segment in Turkey. Both companies emphasize the potential of this alliance to boost new projects and consolidate an energy system based on renewable sources.
Construction of the wind farm is scheduled to begin in April 2027, while commissioning is expected in October of the same year.
ENERCON and its role in the energy transition
With more than 40 years of experience and an installed capacity of more than 65 GW, ENERCON remains one of the key players in the development of onshore wind energy. The company combines high-performance technology with integrated solutions ranging from planning to asset operation and maintenance.
In this context, the deployment of the E-175 EP5 E2 model reinforces its commitment to more efficient energy systems, adapted to the new demands of the global market.
