Under the contract, awarded by German-based electricity producer Steag, Vestas will supply, install, and commission the wind turbines for the project.
The contract scope also comprises a 10-year full-scope Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 service in order to boost the wind turbines’ performance and bolster the customer’s business case certainty.
Vestas Mediterranean president Marco Graziano said: "This project strengthens our position in Turkey and confirms our forward momentum in one of Vestas’ key markets. The Suloglu wind power plant marks another important milestone in Turkey’s developing wind energy market as well as our strong partnership with Steag GmbH."
Expected to be delivered during the second quarter of 2015, the V126-3.3MW wind turbines can capture the full potential of low-wind sites.
The Suloglu power plant, which is scheduled to be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2015, will have a total estimated annual production of approximately 234,000 MWh, which will save environment from over 107,600 tons of CO2 emissions on an annual basis.
Additionally, the power plant will provide enough power to cover the residential electricity requirement of more than 40,000 people in Turkey.
