20 Jul 2020 THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE NEW WIND POWER PLANTS ESTABLISHED IN TÜRKİYE TO BE PRODUCED IN İZMİR
GE Renewable Energy announced that it has been selected by Türkerler and RT Enerji to supply equipment for the five Kirazli, Meryem, Sile, Pamukova and Mahmut Sevket onshore wind farms.
Forty-nine of GE’s 3 MW onshore wind turbines will be installed in İzmir, Bilecik, Sakarya and İstanbul. With a total capacity of 158 MW, the project will provide renewable energy to the region, powering the equivalent of 183,000 homes. The scope also includes a 10-year servicing agreement.
As a part of the agreement, LM Wind Power will produce the 147 blades for the wind turbines at the Bergama site, İzmir, Türkiye, where GE has more than 450 employees. The site, which began operations in July 2017, became the fifteenth LM Wind Power factory and the first opened after the company became a GE Renewable Energy business. The site aims to help meet the requirements of the rapidly-growing Turkish wind industry. Towers and generators will also be produced in the country.
