Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has signed an agreement securing the right to implement up to 1 GW of wind power in Turkey. The company is part of a consortium that includes the local infrastructure company Kalyon Enerji and the Turkish investor Turkerler Holding.

Under the terms of the agreement, Siemens Gamesa’s scope includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines in several wind farms, as well as a 15-year service agreement. In addition, the agreement takes into account the offtake of the power produced under a 15-year power purchase agreement, and a commitment on the part of the consortium to build at least 700 MW by 2022.

The agreement also includes the construction of a nacelle factory, in order to meet the local supply requirements established by the Turkish authorities, as well as an R&D centre.
