Turkey’s EnerjiSA, energy group of the Sabanci Holding, and its partner company Verbund on Saturday inaugurated a wind plant in Turkey’s northwestern province of Canakkale.
The 90 megawatt plant is the first of a series of wind turbines EnerjiSA is set to launch in 2011, Sabanci CEO Guler Sabanci told reporters.
"We are targeting to achieve 300 megawatts in wind power and soon we will launch a 100-150 megawatt project. We have confidence in Turkey’s competitive energy market," Sabanci said.
Austrian Verbund’s CEO Johann Sereinig, on his part, said Verbund-Sabanci partnership had made the biggest amount of investment in Turkey with over 2.4 billion euros.
"Such powerful investments could not be made if it was not for Turkey’s perfect opportunities for investment," he said.
