German turbine maker, REpower Systems, has signed its first contract in Turkey, with Al Yel Elektrik, a subsidiary of Akuo Energy SAS.
REpower will supply 44 wind turbines each with a power of 3.37 MW and a hub height of 80 metres, for the Geycek wind farm in Kirsehir province East of Ankara. The turbines are to be delivered in summer 2011 and will be commissioned in coming months.
REpower is to provide a 12-year service and maintenance contract for the turbines.
With 44 turbines and a total generating capacity of 148.28 MW, Geycek is REpower’s biggest wind farm in Europe to date. Moreover, it is also the largest project so far to be fitted with turbines of the 3.XM series. The contract is subject to conditions precedent, the company said.
REpower intends to capitalise on opportunities in the Turkish market, where turbines with a generating capacity of almost 1,000 MW are already operational.
Turkey’s market allure was recently enhanced by the Turkish Government’s decision to revise existing procedures for granting licenses and the remuneration system for renewable energies in 2010.
