Type: Partnership · Technology: Onshore Wind · Country: Turkey · Announced: 2026-06-22
Enercon and ATES signed a manufacturing partnership on 22 June 2026 to outsource the production of wind turbine generators and towers to a market outside the European Union. The agreement will shift the fabrication of key wind turbine components to facilities in Turkey, enhancing supply chain resilience for Enercon's onshore wind portfolio. The partnership targets the delivery of turbine parts for Enercon's upcoming projects across Europe, leveraging ATES's manufacturing capacity. By relocating production, Enercon aims to reduce lead times and mitigate geopolitical risks associated with EU-based supply chains. The contract was formalised in the presence of German and Turkish energy ministers, underscoring the strategic importance of the cross‑border collaboration.
