Renewable Energy Systems (RES) and Turkey-based renewable energy firm Artıbir Enerji have signed a long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement for two wind farms, marking what the companies describe as Turkey’s first international and independent O&M contract in the sector.
The agreement covers the 30-megawatt Yeniköy and Yılmaz wind farms, located in the provinces of Çanakkale and İzmir. The sites are equipped with eight Siemens Gamesa SG132 turbines, each with a capacity of 3.75 MW.
Under the terms of the deal, RES will be responsible for a range of services including scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and 24/7 remote operations. The contract also includes support for key turbine components such as blades, gearboxes, and generators, as well as assistance in the procurement of spare parts.
“This agreement represents RES’s first services contract in Turkey and introduces a new independent model for long-term turbine maintenance,” said Geert Dooms, general manager of RES Turkey. “By bringing our global know-how into Turkey’s growing renewables market, we are creating a trusted blueprint for the sector and unlocking new value for investors.”
Artıbir Enerji’s general manager Güray Erol said the collaboration aims to improve operational efficiency and reliability through the integration of international expertise. “This agreement with RES not only secures the operation and maintenance of our wind farms but also opens a new chapter for Turkey’s renewable energy sector,” Erol said. “By requesting the flow of internationally accumulated expertise and targeting to increase our availability rates, we aim to deliver more efficient and reliable clean energy for Turkey’s growing demand.”
RES, headquartered in the UK, operates in several global markets, providing support services across renewable technologies including wind, solar, and energy storage.
