This is not the first partnership between GE Renewable Energy and the Turkish company, which is owned by Turkish investment group Fiba Group.

In April 2012, GE supplied 31 1.6-100 wind turbines – at the time, the most efficient wind turbines in their class – for a 50MW Fina Enerji project in Istanbul. In November that year, GE also provided 43 wind turbines for four additional projects in western Turkey.

In March 2018, GE Renewable Energy and Fina Enerji signed an agreement to work on eight projects and provide 410MW of electricity by the end of this year.

Under the terms, GE will supply its 3.8-130 wind turbines, alongside its long-term project services.

 

Executives respond to the deal

GE Middle East, North Africa & Turkey onshore wind president and CEO Manar Al-Moneef said: “GE has been one of the early investors in Turkey and continues its commitment to create jobs and contribute to the development of high technology in the energy industry.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Fina Enerji again and working on these exciting projects featuring GE’s high-tech 3MW platform turbines, well suited to Turkey’s wind speeds and landscape.”

Fina Enerji’s owner Fiba Group chairman Murat Özyeğin added: “We are excited for our new windfarm projects that will increase our installed capacity from 350MW to 543MW.

“The Baglama project will be the easternmost windfarm investment in Turkey and we are particularly proud to contribute to the economic development in this region. We are pleased to sustain our partnership with GE and to contribute to our country’s renewable energy targets.”
