The portfolio includes five wind farm projects.
Under the agreement, Vestas will provide 67 V112 3MW wind turbines, each with a hub height of 84m and a rotor diameter of 112m, which are being constructed in stages in five locations.
Work on the first project – an extension to the Bandirma wind farm – is likely to begin shortly.
Once complete by the end of 2015, the projects will generate around 721GWh of electricity annually, which is enough to power around 200,000 households.
EnBW CEO Frank Mastiaux said that the company’s commitment in Turkey is a key aspect of its corporate strategy and is based on its strategic assessment of the Turkish energy market, which takes into account the capacities and technologies needed, as well as renewable energy expansion.
"Abundant wind and the good, strong partnership with Borusan are the best preconditions for leveraging our opportunities here as well.
"We pursue ambitious goals in the expansion of renewable energies in our generation portfolio. The signing of this agreement today has taken us a big step closer to achieving this goal," added Mastiaux.
