On September 5, at the Çerkes 36MW wind power expansion project in Çankırı Province, central Türkiye, Goldwind successfully completed the installation of the country's first GWH182-7.2MW wind turbine. This wind turbine is currently the largest in single-unit capacity and the longest in rotor diameter in Türkiye, marking another milestone in the country's wind power development.

The Çerkes wind power expansion project is located in an area with an average annual wind speed of around 6-7 meters per second, a typical medium-to-low wind speed zone that places higher demands on the turbine's wind capture performance. Goldwind customized the turbine configuration based on the project's specific characteristics, deploying five GWH182-7.2MW wind turbines capable of efficient operation in medium- to low-wind-speed areas. Combined with advanced intelligent control technology, the turbines significantly enhance wind energy capture efficiency and power generation performance, increasing the full-load operation ratio and delivering higher investment returns for the customer. Meanwhile, this turbine series has obtained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification issued by ICMQ and has completed carbon footprint verification, fully demonstrating its environmental performance across the entire lifecycle.

At present, Goldwind's GWH182 series turbines have been installed in countries including Türkiye, Morocco, and South Africa, and have also secured market orders across multiple countries in South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

In response to the rapidly growing wind power market in Türkiye, Goldwind has not only introduced its GWH182 series turbines but also established a local service team and spare parts center. The company provides long-term service agreements of up to 20 years for all projects, ensuring efficient and stable operation throughout their entire lifecycle. Once operational, the Çerkes project is expected to generate 80 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, effectively optimizing the regional energy mix, reducing dependence on conventional energy sources, alleviating environmental pressure, and contributing positively to the sustainable development of the local economy.
