Nordex has taken a significant step forward in Turkey’s renewable energy sector, securing a 90MW order for turbines at the R24-Gürün wind energy project. The company will deliver and install 14 N163/6.X turbines for ADY Akdeniz Rüzgar Enerjisi Üretim, marking the Turkish company’s debut in wind energy.
This order underscores Nordex’s growing footprint in Turkey and its commitment to supporting new entrants in the renewable energy sector. “We are proud to announce this first order from ADY Akdeniz Rüzgar Enerjisi Üretim A.Ş.,” said Ender Ozatay, VP Region Türkiye and Mid East of the Nordex Group. “It highlights Nordex Group’s continued expansion in Türkiye and our dedication to supporting new players in the renewable energy sector with our technology.”
The R24-Gürün project is situated north of the Gürün district in Sivas. The turbines will be installed on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 113 meters, and Nordex will deliver the Delta4000 turbines in a cold climate version. This project not only marks a new venture for ADY Akdeniz but also reinforces Nordex’s position as the market leader in Turkey, where it holds over 31% of the market share.
This development could spur further investment in Turkey’s wind energy sector, encouraging other new players to enter the market. As Nordex continues to expand its presence, it may also drive technological advancements and increased competition, ultimately benefiting the growth of renewable energy in the region. The focus on cold climate versions of turbines could also indicate a strategic move to address diverse geographical challenges, potentially opening up new areas for wind energy projects. This order is a testament to the growing confidence in wind energy as a viable and scalable solution for Turkey’s energy needs.
