GE has produced 1111 wind turbine blades so far at its LM Wind Power factory in Turkey, four years after the start of the production at the plant in İzmir.
The 1111 blades are used or will be used to capture a total capacity of about 1.58GW of wind.
The Bergama factory represents a $80m investment to Turkey.
The construction of the site’s extension started at the end of April 2019, in order to set up the factory to produce the innovative two-piece blade for GE’s onshore Cypress turbine platform.
The Bergama site counts over 800 employees, 26% of whom are women, one of LM Wind Power’s leading sites for a diverse workforce.
Bergama plant director Emre Kahya said: “We are proud of what the team has achieved at the site since 2017 and we are excited to see the site continuously improving and growing.”
