September 3 (SeeNews) - GE Renewable Energy, a division of US conglomerate General Electric, said on Thursday it has completed the installation and commissioning of the 53 MW Kirazli and 32 MW Meryem wind farms in Turkey for local energy companies Turkerler and RT Enerji.
The two wind farms are part of a larger contract to supply equipment for five onshore wind projects in Turkey with a combined capacity of 158 MW, GE Renewable Energy said in a statement.
GE produced the blades for the turbines at its subsidiary LM Wind Power’s manufacturing site in Bergama, Izmir.
In July 2019, Turkeler and RT Enerji in July 2019 contracted GE Renewable Energy to deliver 49 units of its 3 MW turbines for the Kirazli, Meryem, Sile, Pamukova and Mahmut Sevket projects, located in Izmir, Bilecik, Sakarya and Istanbul. Together, the turbines will be able to produce enough power to meet the annual consumption of about 183,000 households.
The contract also included a 10-year servicing agreement.
