The wind farm was initially projected by Bora Wind Energy Company in 2011. After Boydak Energy Company took over Bora Co., construction began in 2012. The farm went into production in May 2014 with six turbines, each with a capacity to generate 2.5 MW. By the end of June 2014, eight more turbines were in service, increasing the total installed capacity to 35 MW.[1][2]

Location

The wind farm is located on a 240 m (790 ft)-high hill northwest of Çanta town,[2] just east of the provincial border between Tekirdağ and Istanbul. It is at a distance of 27 km (17 mi) to Çorlu,[3] 17 km (11 mi) to Silivri and 83 km (52 mi) to Istanbul.

Technical details

Maximum power output of each of the 19 turbines supplied by Nordex in Germany is 2.5 MW,[4] and the total annual energy production is about 151 GWh.[2] The turbines of type N100/2500 have 100 m (330 ft) rotor diameter.[3][5]

Average annual wind speed at the site is given with 7.5–8.5 m/s (25–28 ft/s).[3][4]
