Enercon has been awarded a 260MW turbine agreement from Kalyon Enerji for wind projects in several regions in Turkey.
According to the deal, Enercon will supply and install 64 E-138 EP3 machines for Kalyon’s developments in the country.
As part of the YEKA RES-3 tender organised by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources in 2022 for a total capacity of 850MW, Kalyon obtained a total capacity of 260MW.
The 64 E-138 EP3 turbines will be installed in Kalyon Enerji’s YEKA RES-3 projects in Elazığ, Bilecik, Bayburt, Ankara and Trabzon regions.
Production of the E-138 EP3 series is highly localised. Except the nacelles, all main components are manufactured in Türkiye.
Tayfun Bayraktar, Sales & After Sales Director for the Enercon Region Central Asia, Middle East and Africa (CAMEA), said: “With 25 years of experience and our well-established supply chain network, we developed the E-138 EP3 turbine type as the most highly localised wind turbine in Turkey.
“As of today, we installed and commissioned more than 150 E-138 EP3 in the country.”
Enercon has already undertaken the entire turbine supply and installation of the 1000MW YEKA RES 2 project.
“The signing of the next turbine supply agreement for YEKA RES 3 underlines Enercon’s reliability as a turbine supplier and its significance for the energy transition in the country,” said Enercon regional head of CAMEA Arif Günyar.
