LEITWIND – Contract Signed for the First LTW90 2,000 kW in Turkey

A strategic step that strengthens LEITWIND’s presence in the Eastern Thrace region.

LEITWIND is pleased to announce the renewed collaboration with its Turkish customer, who had already placed trust in the brand’s products and services in 2023 by choosing LEITWIND for the installation of a 1,500 kW wind turbine. In December 2024, the agreement was formalized for the supply of an LTW90 2,000 kW turbine, which will be installed in the spring of 2026 in Kırklareli province, Eastern Thrace. Equipped with a 97.5-meter-high tower, this turbine represents a significant milestone for LEITWIND in the Turkish wind energy market.

LEITWIND’s success in Turkey can be attributed to several factors: the adoption of cutting-edge technology, the offer of
a comprehensive all-inclusive package that includes not only the standard supply of wind turbines but also continuous support throughout all project phases, and a strong local presence. Following the establishment of LEITNER TURKEY in May 2012, specializing in the ropeway sector, the LEITWIND TURKEY branch was inaugurated in Bursa, actively managing the 10 LEITWIND wind farms currently operating in the country.

Not only in Turkey but also in Italy, the LTW90 product continues to receive significant recognition. In the fall of 2024, LEITWIND successfully completed the first LTW90 wind farm in the province of Trapani. This project, consisting of three LTW90 with a rated power of 1,000 kW, presented a significant logistical challenge due to the area’s unique morphological characteristics. However, achieving this result highlights the company’s experience and expertise in handling installations in complex environments.

The wind energy sector is undergoing a transformation, with major manufacturers shifting towards turbines with larger rotors and higher power outputs, thereby reducing the availability of Megawatt- class turbines. In this challenging context, LEITWIND stands out for its specialization in small to medium-sized projects and repowering operations, reinforcing its role as a key partner for communities, SMEs, and local investors.

Despite regulatory and permitting uncertainties, the small to medium-sized wind energy sector represents a strategic opportunity to enhance the value of already installed energy potential. LEITWIND is ready to further strengthen its leadership position, making a significant contribution to the global energy transition.
