Turkey to become a leader in wind energy
Turkey is preparing to play its part in providing alternative energy supplies. As the country begins to involve itself in wind energy investments, it has also decided to produce inland wind turbines, reported the Anatolia News Agency. Turkey to become a leader in wind energy Model Enerji, which was founded during the first half of 2008 by a team of veterans from Turkey's energy sector, was the first company founded in Turkey to manufacture megawatt-class wind turbines. Istanbul-based Model Enerji plans to manufacture the 1.65-megawatt turbines, which utilize a doubly fed induction generator drive train, at a factory to be established in Ankara’s industrial zone. The investing company has purchased 38,000 square meters of land, said Nurettin Özdebir, chairman of the Ankara Chamber of Industry, or ASO. "We aim to be a leader in the sector by designing the most suitable turbines for various regions based on their local wind exposures. We one day hope to place ourselves among world-renowned wind energy brands," said Güç İçelli, company partner and deputy director.
