Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Nordex´s Turkish business is continuing to gain momentum: After the award of a contract for 115 MW last summer, finance has now also been obtained for the next project. Accordingly, Nordex will be supplying the power station operator Bilgin Enerji with 36 N90/2500 turbines for the "Soma" project as of January. With a total volume of 90 MW, Bilgin will be calling this package down under the 210 MW master contract signed in spring 2008 in line with plans. The Turkish company has additionally also booked a premium service package.
Nordex will be assembling the "Soma" wind farm in the province of Manisa in western Turkey. The 36 turbines will be distributed over a large mountainous terrain. With a combined notional annual yield of over 300 gigawatt/hours they will be able to supply more than 150,000 Turkish households with electricity, simultaneously saving emissions of around 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
"Soma" is the third firm contract received from Bilgin. At the begin-ning of September, the "Mazi III" wind farm (22.5 MW) went on line and Nordex is already commencing the delivery of 36 turbines for "Bergama" (90 MW), the first project under the master contract. "Bergama" and "Soma" figure amongst the two largest wind power projects in Turkey to date. "Today, with the signature of the firm contract for the `Soma´ wind farm with Nordex, we have strengthened our leading position as an investor in the Turkish renewable energy sector", says Tolga Bilgin, Vice President of Bilgin Energy.
With contracts for a total of 300 MW, Nordex is one of the leading wind power companies in Turkey. "We have our fingers directly on the pulse of the market via our branch in Istanbul, which we established in April. This is proving to be a strategic advantage for us as Turkey has plans to extend its wind power capacity substantially. With new licenses about to be awarded, we are already in talks with potential customers," says Carsten Pedersen, COO Sales and Marketing at Nordex.
