ENERCON to supply 20 E-175 EP5 E2 turbines for 140 MW Turkish wind project

ENERCON has signed a supply contract with RT Enerji for 20 E-175 EP5 E2 wind turbines for the Aydin–Denizli Wind Farm in western Türkiye. The 140 MW project, part of the YEKA 5 tender, marks the market entry of ENERCON's top-model 7.0 MW turbine in Türkiye, with construction scheduled to begin in April 2027.

ENERCON has signed a supply contract with RT Enerji for 20 E-175 EP5 E2 wind turbines for the Aydin–Denizli Wind Farm in western Türkiye, according to an official announcement. The 140 MW project is part of the YEKA 5 tender, for which RT Enerji was recently awarded the contract from the Turkish Ministry of Energy. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2027, with commissioning expected at the end of October 2027 on steel towers at 112-metre hub heights.

ENERCON is a German wind turbine manufacturer with a focus on onshore wind energy. The E-175 EP5 E2 is ENERCON's new top model, with a nominal power of 7.0 MW and a rotor diameter of 175 metres, making it one of the highest-yielding onshore wind turbines in Europe. The supply contract marks the market entry of this turbine model in Türkiye.

This development matters for Türkiye's renewable energy sector, where the YEKA tender mechanism is driving deployment of large-scale wind projects with local content requirements. ENERCON will manufacture selected main components in the country through long-standing Turkish production partners to meet local content requirements.

For the wind energy industry, the project demonstrates the deployment of high-capacity turbines in the Turkish market. Stakeholders including local component manufacturers, construction contractors, and grid operators stand to benefit from the project's execution. ENERCON's localisation strategy reaffirms its commitment to Türkiye as one of its most important international strategic target markets.
