Enercon has announced the successful commissioning of the 40MW Ordu wind farm in Turkey, marking a significant milestone in renewable energy development in the region. All 10 E-138 EP3 turbines at the Kalen Enerji project are now connected to the grid, contributing to the local energy supply.
Project Overview
Location and Challenges
The Ordu wind farm is situated in the Black Sea region, known for its challenging site conditions for array installation and operation. Enercon provided comprehensive site analytics from the project’s inception to optimize turbine selection and site layout, ensuring efficient installation and operation.
Local Manufacturing and Localisation
A notable aspect of this project is its impressive localisation rate, as the towers, blades, and generators of the E-138 EP3 series were manufactured in Turkey. In contrast, the nacelles were supplied from Enercon’s production facilities in Germany. This approach underscores Enercon’s commitment to utilizing local resources and expertise, in line with the YEKA 3 Localisation Specification.
Statements from Leadership
Arif Günyar, Head of the CAMEA region, expressed gratitude for this achievement, stating, “We are grateful for this milestone and the trust that Kalen Enerji places in our Enercon technology and team.” He emphasized that Enercon’s support extends beyond quality turbine technology, highlighting the company’s role as a reliable partner for wind farm projects worldwide.
Conclusion
The commissioning of the Ordu wind farm not only enhances Turkey’s renewable energy capacity but also demonstrates Enercon’s dedication to local manufacturing and sustainable practices. This project sets a precedent for future renewable energy initiatives in the region.
