Turkish company Rönesans Enerji has placed orders with German wind turbine-maker Nordex to supply its 189MW turbines for three wind projects.
Nordex will supply its N163/6.X turbines for the projects, which were won in the YEKA RES-3 tender. The order includes a service contract for a ten-year period.
Heitkamp Industrial Solutions is the engineering, procurement and construction contractor on behalf of Rönesans Enerji.
The three projects are Kayalar in Sivas province with 49MW capacity, Osmancık in Corum province with 56MW capacity and Sağıluşağı in Malatya province, Eastern Anatolia, with 84MW capacity.
The first wind farm will feature seven turbines, followed by the second with eight and the third with 12. Each turbine will have 7MW of power-generating capacity.
Introduced in 2017, the N163/6.X platform from Nordex has a rotor diameter of 163m, a swept area of 20,867m²,
and a hub height of 164m. It can generate more than 6MW of power.
Rönesans Enerji board of directors vice-president Emre Hatem stated: “Rönesans Energy currently has a total installed capacity of 166MW with its 6 hydroelectric power plant projects. Working with Nordex, we’re thrilled to be building on our existing investment in Turkish renewable energy and reinforcing our commitment to meeting the country’s net zero goals.
“Collaborating with the highly reputable wind turbine manufacturer, Nordex, and our German subsidiary Heitkamp, we’re confident that we can help reduce CO₂ emissions across Turkey.
“With these 3 new projects with Nordex, our total installed capacity will increase to 355MW. We aim to continue growing with a 100% renewable energy portfolio and aspire to become one of Turkey’s top 3 green energy companies.”
Nordex Group chief sales officer Patxi Landa stated: “We are delighted to again strengthen our position as the market leader in Turkey. The N163/6.X turbine variant is particularly well-suited to achieving high yields in this low-wind region.”
