GE Renewable Energy has been selected by Sanko Enerji to provide 12 Cypress units and 2 units of 3 MW for the 70 MW Guney wind farm Located in Bursa, Turkey.
The wind farm is expected to produce enough clean energy to power the equivalent 71,000 homes, save about 200,000 tons of CO2.
The construction and commercial operation of the wind farm is scheduled to start by the last quarter of 2020. GE’s scope of work will also include 10-year service agreements.
GE Renewable Energy will locally produce the revolutionary two-pieces wind turbine blades in its LM Wind Power’s Bergama site, Izmir, Turkey, where GE has more than 550 employees. At the end of April 2019, the site decided to invest another US$30 million to hire 300 new employees and build an extension, in order to set-up the site to produce this new two-pieces blade, set to be assembled to GE’s Cypress turbine. Towers will also be produced in the country.
