Envision lands 'breakthrough' turbine order in key market for European OEMs
Chinese manufacturer says order is key step in execution of global expansion strategy
China’s Envision has won a significant “breakthrough” order in one of the core markets for European wind turbine manufacturers, which it considers a “key step” in its global expansion strategy.
The 232MW order is for a wind project in Karaman in southern Turkey by wind and storage developer ERN Holding & Yildizlar Group.
“Turkey plays a pivotal role in the global energy landscape with its strategic position as a bridge between Eastern Europe and Central Asia,” said Kane Xu, senior vice president at Envision Energy.
“Our partnership with Yildizlar is not only a breakthrough in a new market, but also a key step in executing Envision’s global strategy.
“Together, we will accelerate the clean energy transition in Turkey and beyond, driving energy diversification and advancing net zero ambitions across the region.”
Turkey is one of the largest markets in the wider European region, with a cumulative wind power capacity of 14.4GW at the end of the first half of 2025, surpassing EU markets such as Italy or the Netherlands.
European OEMs such as Enercon or Nordex have been very successful in Turkish wind energy tenders in recent years, while Siemens Gamesa and GE’s LM Wind Power also have manufacturing facilities in the country.
Production costs in Turkey are cheaper than those in the EU – with which the country has a free trade agreement – but more expensive than in China.
