The largest wind power plant in Turkey, which will meet the demand for electricity of 280,000 residences, will be constructed in the Çatalca district of Istanbul and named the Istanbul Wind Power Plant.
The plant will produce 770,800,000 kilowatt-hours annually with 88 wind turbines, with 64 of these 88 wind turbines capable of producing 2 megawatts, while 24 will produce 3 megawatts of electricity, adding up to 200 megawatts of installed electricity production capacity.
The budget required for the foundation of the wind power plant is estimated to be around $558,245,400 and 30 employees will be assigned for the preparation and construction work and 15 for the operation of the plant.
The Istanbul Wind Power Plant should produce 770,800,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Considered that the monthly energy consumption of an average family is around 230 kilowatt-hours, the plant will meet the annual energy requirement of 280,000 residences.
The wind turbines to be installed in the plant will be imported, and 100-meter-long and 3-meter-deep pits will be dug for the turbines. After the steel and concrete work is completed, the turbines will be erected by cranes.
