It offers great perspectives, and we receive tremendous support by the authorities. The country has a clear commitment to the expansion of renewable energies and wind onshore in particular. We are pleased to support the Turkish targets in renewable energies together with our customers Enerjisa Üretim by providing best-in-class wind turbine technology which has proven to be extremely reliable at Turkish sites. We thank Enerjisa Üretim for their trust and we are looking forward to continuing our fruitful collaboration.’
