The Nordex Group has received an order in Türkiye from Yellice Üretim A.S., a subsidiary of Efor Holding. The contract comprises the supply and installation of 23 N163/6.X wind turbines with a total capacity of 160 MW for the Yellice wind farm.
The Nordex Group will also provide Premium Service for a period of 10 years, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of the turbines.
The wind turbines will be installed southeast of the Kangal district in the Sivas Province at elevations ranging from 1,850 m to 1,990 m above sea level. The installation of the first turbine is scheduled to begin in spring 2026, with commissioning planned for the same year.
Ibrahim Akkus, Chairman of the Board of Efor Holding: 'The Yellice Wind Power Plant stands as a cornerstone of our long-term renewable energy strategy, with a particular emphasis on expanding our wind energy portfolio. Re-engaging with Nordex Group on this landmark initiative reaffirms our commitment to building resilient partnerships that accelerate the green transformation. This collaboration carries strategic significance – not only by expanding our installed capacity, but also by underscoring the critical role the private sector plays in shaping Türkiye’s sustainable energy future. With Yellice, our objective is twofold: to strengthen national energy security and to catalyze socio-economic development at the regional level. At Efor Holding, we will continue to advance our renewable energy investments – particularly in wind power – with unwavering dedication, aligned with our vision for a sustainable and energy-independent Türkiye.'
Efor Holding is a regular customer of the Nordex Group. Ender Ozatay, VP Region Türkiye and Mid East of the Nordex Group: 'Yellice will further strengthen the long-standing relationship between our two companies. The project Yellice is a part of Türkiye’s latest wind auction YEKA WPP-2024 and is our third YEKA project, underscoring our continued commitment to Türkiye’s renewable energy goals. The YEKA initiative plays a vital role in fostering local industry by requiring 55-point localization compliance – ensuring that key turbine components are produced domestically. As market leader in Türkiye, we’re proud to contribute to this transformative program once again.'
