Aydem Renewables, which is Türkiye’s largest company generating energy exclusively from renewable sources, has increased its total installed capacity to 1,210 MW following a 12 MW capacity expansion at the Uşak Wind Power Plant (WPP). With this investment, the company’s total wind power capacity has reached 268,5 MW.
The capacity expansion commissioned at the Uşak Wind Power Plant (WPP) provides significant environmental and social benefits in addition to increasing the total installed capacity. With this 12 MW capacity increase, an additional annual production of approximately 40 million kWh of clean energy is projected. This production volume corresponds to the annual electricity needs of roughly 15.000 households. Furthermore, the project aims to prevent approximately 20.000 tons of carbon emissions per year.
Commenting on the capacity expansion, Aydem Renewables General Manager Uğur Yüksel highlighted the strategic importance of the project, stating: “We are proud to reach another significant milestone in our journey to contribute to our country’s energy transition. The capacity expansion we have implemented at the Uşak Wind Power Plant (WPP) is a strong indicator of our commitment to renewable energy and our long-term growth vision. With this investment, our total installed capacity has risen to 1,210 MW, while our total installed wind power capacity has reached 268,5 MW. With our commitment to clean and sustainable energy production, we will continue to grow our investments and contribute to our country’s energy independence. Within the scope of the capacity expansion in Uşak, we plan to commission an additional turbine with an installed capacity of 6 MW in the coming month.”
