Siemens and Turkish partners win billion dollar tender

A consortium of German giant Siemens and Turkey’s Türkerler and Kalyon Enerji holdings won a billion dollar wind energy tender on Aug. 3, offering the lowest price to the state with 3.48 USD per kilowatts.

Energy Ministry deputy undersecretary Alparslan Bayraktar managed the reverse auction, which went for 30 rounds. A consortium of Chinese Mingyang and Turkish İlk İnşaat competed until the end before getting eliminated. 

Eight consortia, including four German giants, participated in the Energy Ministry’s 1,000 megawatts (MW) wind power project tender on July 27.

In addition to the German and Chinese firms, Danish Vestas also took part in the bidding as well as the U.S.’s General Electric along with their local partners.

The winning consortium is expected to make more than 1 billion USD investment in the project, which stipulates the local production of wind turbines gradually.
