Gamesa, one of the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturers, has signed an agreement with Kiroba Elektrik Uretim to supply 20MW of turbine capacity for the Madranbaba wind farm in the Turkish province of Aydin.
The Spanish company will deliver 10 2MW turbines, carry out turbine transport, installation and assembly and provide operation and maintenance services for a period of 16 years.
The new wind farm is scheduled to begin operating sometime between late 2011 and early 2012.
This is the second deal Gamesa landed in Turkey, after it signed an agreement to install 30MW of turbine capacity for an ABK Enerji Elektrik Uretim wind energy project in the city of Soke.
That contract encompasses the transport, installation and assembly of 15 2MW turbines, along with operation and maintenance services for a period of 16 years.
The company is also about to open its first Turkish marketing office in Istanbul.
