Supply contract for 20 E-175 EP5 E2 wind turbines signed at WindEurope 2026 in Madrid
ENERCON has signed a supply agreement with onshore wind operator RT Enerji for the Aydin–Denizli Wind Farm project in western Türkiye.
The contract, covering the delivery of 20 E-175 EP5 E2 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 140 MW, was signed on 22 April during the WindEurope Annual Event 2026 in Madrid. The project is part of the YEKA 5 tender, awarded to RT Enerji by the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.
“We are pleased that RT Enerji has placed its trust in us and selected our new top model for this project,” said ENERCON CEO Udo Bauer. “This marks our first collaboration. With the E-175 EP5 E2, we are ready to work with new partners to continue contributing to the energy transition in Türkiye.”
Bekir Korkmaz, CEO of RT Enerji, commented:
“We look forward to developing the first wind farms in Türkiye with the E-175 EP5 E2 and to contributing, together with ENERCON, to the development of the country’s renewable energy system. The E-175 EP5 E2 is a suitable turbine for onshore wind projects in Türkiye and ranks among the most advanced and highest-yielding turbines in Europe.”
E-175 EP5 E2 at the core of ENERCON’s product strategy
The E-175 EP5 E2 is ENERCON’s latest top model, featuring a nominal power of 7.0 MW and a rotor diameter of 175 metres. It is positioned among the highest-yielding onshore wind turbines in Europe.
The model forms a central part of ENERCON’s product portfolio and supports the company’s approach to addressing increasingly complex requirements in the next phase of the energy transition through integrated system solutions.
Market entry in Türkiye and localisation approach
The Aydin–Denizli Wind Farm agreement marks the market entry of the E-175 EP5 E2 in Türkiye.
As part of the project, ENERCON will continue its established localisation strategy in cooperation with long-standing Turkish production partners. Selected key components of the turbine are expected to be manufactured in Türkiye in line with local content requirements under national tender schemes.
“With the introduction of the E-175 EP5 E2 in Türkiye and the related localisation steps, we reaffirm our commitment to the Turkish market,” said Arif Günyar, Regional Head of Central Asia, Middle East and Africa (CAMEA). “Türkiye remains one of ENERCON’s key strategic markets. We look forward to our cooperation with RT Enerji and other stakeholders in the country.”
Project timeline
Construction of the Aydin–Denizli Wind Farm is scheduled to begin in April 2027, with commissioning expected by the end of October 2027.
A total of 20 wind turbines will be installed on steel towers with a hub height of 112 metres.
