Nordex obtains 27.5 MW order in Turkey

Hamburg - The turbine manufacturer Nordex has received an order to supply and install the "Sincik" wind farm.

The customer is the Tektug Elektrik Group, which specialises in sustainable energy projects and already operates several hydroelectric power stations. The wind farm will consist of eleven large N100/2500 turbines, which are especially designed for sites with medium wind speeds. Nordex plans to start installation work in eastern Turkey as soon as autumn 2012. The wind farm is located at an altitude of 1500 metres on a mountain ridge near the city of Adiyaman.

"This order is a major success in the growing Turkish market as this is the first wind project for Tektug Elektrik. And our new customer has ambitious plans to expand. In addition to this, our pilot project is located in the East of Anatolia. This also offers opportunities for follow-up projects," says Ayhan G
