Envision inks 4.5GW wind turbine deal on Europe’s doorstep
Leading Chinese turbine maker signs double-whammy of deals this week, giving it strong foothold in market with big ambitions for rollout of wind farms and renewable energy generally
China’s Envision has signed a colossal supply deal that will see it drive a 4.5GW wind turbine project in Turkey, which has until now been a key market for European OEMs such as Nordex and Enercon.
Envision announced today that it has entered a strategic partnership with Turkish energy company Mensis Enerji during the Turkish Wind Energy Congress.
The collaboration includes the parties working together on market development, technology cooperation and policy advocacy, said Envision.
“Turkey is rapidly emerging as a key market for renewable energy, with wind capacity already exceeding 13GW,” said Kane Xu, senior vice president and president of international product lines at Envision.
“Partnering with Mensis Enerji allows Envision to combine global technology leadership with local expertise and strong policy insights, accelerating clean energy deployment, enhancing project execution, and supporting Turkey’s transition to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future.”
Envision did not provide any further details of the “4.5GW wind project” in Turkey that it will “initially drive” through the partnership in the announcement. Approached for comment, a spokesperson confirmed the partnership will entail several projects to be delivered in the coming years.
"Our strategic partnership with Envision Energy marks a transformative step for Turkey's renewable energy sector," said Abdullah Atalay, chairman of Mensis Enerji.
"Envision's global expertise and cutting-edge technology will help accelerate high-quality wind projects, create local jobs, strengthen domestic renewable energy infrastructure, and advance our 2035 renewable energy targets. With nearly 18GW of storage-integrated wind projects expected to be commissioned in the coming years, Envision's presence in the Turkish market is crucial in providing alternative product solutions to investors."
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 and 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.
