Enercon inks first delivery of its 7 MW wind turbines to Turkey
Enercon received the first order from Turkey for its latest, 7 MW wind turbines, from Reges Elektrik.
The agreement with Reges Elektrik is for the first deployment of Enercon’s 7 MW onshore turbine in Turkey, according to the German wind turbine producer. At the same time, it is the Turkish company’s first wind energy investment.
Enercon and Reges Elektrik have launched a strategic partnership by signing a turbine supply agreement for the Demirli wind farm to be constructed in Kırşehir.
Under the deal, Enercon will supply ten of its new E‑175 EP5 E2 wind turbines, totaling 70 MW of installed capacity.
The new top model is among the highest yielding onshore wind turbines in Europe
It is the first collaboration between the two companies. The agreement was signed at Reges Elektrik’s headquarters in Istanbul.
According to Enercon, featuring a large rotor diameter of 175 meters, advanced engineering solutions, and high energy yield, the E‑175 EP5 E2 stands as its most powerful and efficient onshore turbine to date.
It is among the highest-yielding onshore wind turbines in Europe, the German company claimed.

Arif Günyar, Enercon Regional Head for Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa (CAMEA), thanked Reges Elektrik for its trust in his company’s technology.
“We look forward to strengthening our cooperation through future projects,” he added.
According to Mustafa Ünal, Chairman of the Board of Reges Elektrik, the agreement represents a significant milestone for his firm as it makes its first investment in wind energy.
“Partnering with Enercon and deploying the E-175 EP5 E2 turbines aligns perfectly with our long-term vision to expand our renewable energy portfolio with high-efficiency, future-proof technologies,” he stressed.
