The Nordex Group has announced that the Caba Grup ordered 39 N133/4800 turbines from the Delta4000 series for the second construction phase of the Istanbul wind farm.
The order also includes a premium service contract for the turbines covering a period of 15 years.
The wind farm, located 50km north west of Istanbul on the Black Sea, will comprise 44 turbines once completed. This makes the 211MW wind farm Istanbul the largest single licensed project in Turkey to date.
With an average annual wind speed on site of 8 metres per second, the wind farm is expected to produce an annual yield of 850GWh.
When Istanbul starts operation, the Caba Grup will receive a higher feed-in tariff as the Nordex Group is sourcing the rotor blades, anchor cages, towers and generators from Turkey.
