German wind turbine
manufacturer Nordex said on Monday it has received an order to equip and
install a 45 megawatt (MW) wind farm in Turkey from local conglomerate Adali
Holding.
The order entails the delivery, installation and 10-year service of 15 units of
Nordex’ N117/3000 Generation Delta turbines, Nordex said in a statement.
Nordex will build the Kiyikoy wind farm on the Black Sea coast in the northern
Turkish province of Tekirdag in 2015. The facility will be able to generate
more than 170,000 MWh of electricity per year, equivalent to a capacity factor
of more than 43%, according to Nordex.
The anchor cages, rotor blades and towers for the wind turbines will be
produced in Turkey. The locally manufactured content will enable the customer
to apply for a higher feed-in tariff.
Adali Holding is active in construction, tourism, project development, real
estate and energy. The company operates hydropower and geothermal power
stations and has licences for 150 MW of wind farms. It aims to have 300 MW of
installed wind and hydropower capacity.
