Nordex takes 525 MW Sivas order from Türkerler Holding, its largest single deal in Türkiye

Nordex Group announced on 6 August 2026 that it has received a 525 MW turbine supply contract from Türkerler Holding for the YEKA-5 R25 Sivas wind project in central Türkiye - the largest single turbine deal ever awarded in the Turkish wind energy market, according to the company.^[1]

What the contract covers

The order covers the supply and installation of 72 N175/6.X turbines from the Delta4000 series, each mounted on 108 m hub towers.^[1] The contract also includes a 10-year Premium Service agreement with an option to extend to 25 years. First turbine installation is scheduled for Q3 2027.

The key contract elements:

• 72 × N175/6.X turbines (Delta4000 series)
• 108 m hub height
• Supply, installation, and commissioning
• 10-year Premium Service, extendable to 25 years
• First installation: Q3 2027

The project and its auction origin

The Sivas project sits in the Sivas province of central Anatolia, a region Nordex describes as offering "good and consistent wind conditions" suited to the N175/6.X platform. Türkerler Holding won the power deal for the project in Türkiye's fifth renewable energy auction (YEKA-5) last year. According to Windpower Intelligence, the 525 MW Sivas project is the largest wind farm currently in development in Türkiye.

Türkerler Holding is a repeat Nordex customer, active across construction, energy, healthcare, real estate, electricity distribution and trading, and textiles.

Nordex's position in the Turkish market

Nordex holds a 34% cumulative market share in the Turkish wind market and has previously supplied turbines to 3.8 GW of operational Turkish wind farms, with a further 1.2 GW in the pipeline ahead of this order. In 2024, the company booked more than 1 GW of orders in Türkiye alone.

The Sivas contract arrives shortly after Nordex opened a rotor blade manufacturing plant in Menemen, Izmir in May 2026. That facility - occupying roughly 130,000 square metres - is designed to produce up to 1,200 blades per year at full capacity and is initially focused on supplying YEKA-4 and YEKA-5 projects, with additional export capacity targeting European markets. Local blade production is directly relevant here: YEKA auction specifications require developers to meet a 55-point localisation threshold, and Nordex's in-country manufacturing gives it a structural advantage in meeting that requirement.

The broader YEKA pipeline

The Sivas order lands as Türkiye accelerates its onshore wind build-out. The government has committed to running at least 2 GW of YEKA tenders annually, with 1.5 GW of the 2026 round dedicated to wind. A separate 2.4 GW tender - covering 900 MW of solar and 1.5 GW of wind - opened applications on 13 October 2026. Türkiye's installed wind capacity has grown from 20 MW in 2005 to more than 15 GW, contributing approximately 11% of the country's electricity generation in 2025. The government's target is 30 GW of total wind capacity by 2035, including a 5 GW offshore tranche.

The pace of YEKA project conversions into turbine orders will be the number to track. Nordex's 34% installed share and its estimated 60% share among projects currently under construction suggest it is well positioned to capture a disproportionate slice of that pipeline - but the Sivas deal also sets a new scale benchmark that competitors will need to match to stay relevant in the market.
