ENERCON has secured an order from Polat Enerji for 23 turbines for the 161MW Balıkesir 1 wind farm in Türkiye.
The company said the project is part of the YEKA 5 tender and the contract was signed on 27 April in Istanbul.
It added the order covers its E-175 EP5 E2 turbine model, each with a rated power of 7.0MW.
ENERCON noted the project will take joint installed capacity with Polat Enerji in Türkiye to more than 1GW.
The company said construction is scheduled to begin in September 2027 with commissioning expected by the end of December 2027.
“We have enjoyed a long-standing and close cooperation with Polat Enerji in the expansion of wind energy in Türkiye,” said Udo Bauer, ceo of ENERCON.
“With ‘Balıkesir 1’, we will have jointly realized more than 1 gigawatt of installed capacity in Türkiye.”
“Our journey began a quarter-century ago with an early and firm belief in Türkiye’s renewable energy potential,” said Evren Güvenç, ceo of Polat Enerji.
“The Balıkesir 1 project, secured through the YEKA tenders, is a testament to our continuous growth.”
