Innovation and Sustainability: LEITWIND transforms the Turkish Wind Energy Market

Wind energy plays a key role in achieving our country’s renewable energy goals. LEITWIND, an Italian company specialized in the design, installation, and maintenance of megawatt-class wind turbines (ranging from 250 kW to 3,000 kW), thanks to its investments in R&D and its wide product porfolio, is able to offer the most suitable solution for every need, ensuring the highest quality and reliability.

A clear example of this commitment is the development of the configuration LTW90 with a nominal power of 1500 kW. With its large rotor diameter, this turbine ensures significant energy production even in low wind conditions, setting it apart from competitors in the same market segment.

In spring 2023, the first installation of this wind turbine in Turkey was successfully completed in the municipality of Lüleburgaz, located in the province of Kırklareli in the Marmara region. The average annual energy production of this wind turbine’ can meet the annual consumption of over 1,100 Turkish households. Furthermore, the wind turbine is equipped with D4.1 generator, the most advanced generator model, which offers significant benefits in electrical power control, efficient use of brakes , compliance with grid codes, and reduced noise emissions.

“There are several factors that have made LEITWIND so competitive in the Turkish market: cutting- edge technology, the approach to investments in line with European standards, and, last but not least, a strong local presence: in fact, after LEITNER TURKEY, inaugurated in May 2012 for the ropeway sector, LEITWIND’s Turkish subsidiary opened its doors in Bursa LEITWIND differentiates itself from its competitors in every single phase of the project , from the quickness of installation to the wide range of services offered, from the quality and reliability of the products to the quick return on investment and definitely for the know-how shared with the HTI Group, to which it belongs. This has allowed us to successfully install 10 LEITWIND wind turbines in Turkey and enables us to work with an increasing number of local investors,” stated Can Güven, Sales Manager Turkey.
