Wind Power Generation in the Hills of Izmir, Turkey

(IN BRIEF) DEG is providing a USD 80 million loan to Enerjisa Üretim to finance three wind energy projects in Muğla province, southern Türkiye. The projects will have a combined installed capacity of around 250 MW and form part of a broader USD 180 million syndicated financing package arranged by FMO. The wind turbines will be supplied by German manufacturer Enercon, while German energy company E.ON SE is a shareholder in Enerjisa Üretim. Once operational, the projects are expected to supply green electricity to approximately 189,000 households annually and avoid around 221,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year. The financing continues DEG’s relationship with Enerjisa Üretim, which began in 2024, and supports Türkiye’s renewable energy expansion, local economic development and reduced reliance on fossil energy imports.

(PRESS RELEASE) COLOGNE, 13-Jul-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — DEG is supporting the expansion of renewable energy in Türkiye with a USD 80 million loan to Enerjisa Enerji Üretim A.Ş., one of the country’s leading electricity producers.

The financing will support the development of three wind energy projects in Muğla province in southern Türkiye. Together, the projects will have a total installed capacity of approximately 250 MW and will contribute to the country’s transition toward a more sustainable energy system.

The loan forms part of a USD 180 million syndicated financing package arranged by FMO, the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank. Enerjisa Üretim has been a DEG customer since 2024.

The projects will use wind turbines supplied by German manufacturer Enercon, based in Aurich. Enerjisa Üretim also has German energy company E.ON SE among its shareholders, linking the investment to German technology and international industrial cooperation.

Once completed, the wind farms are expected to make a significant contribution to Türkiye’s renewable energy supply. The electricity generated could supply approximately 189,000 households with green power each year while avoiding around 221,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.

Petra Kotte, DEG’s Global Head of Infrastructure and Energy, said the financing continues DEG’s support for Enerjisa Üretim’s renewable energy expansion in Türkiye.

“We at DEG are delighted to continue supporting Enerjisa Üretim in its expansion of renewable energy in Türkiye,” said Kotte. “With German company E.ON SE involved as a shareholder and German wind turbine technology providing the foundation, the Project combines measurable climate impacts with positive momentum for the local economy, contributing to the transformation of the energy sector — one of DEG’s areas of strategic focus.”

The projects are also expected to support local economic development. Construction and service companies are expected to benefit from new work opportunities, while the development of domestic renewable energy capacity will help reduce Türkiye’s dependence on fossil fuel imports.

Enerjisa Üretim is Türkiye’s largest private electricity producer, with an installed capacity of around 4.6 GW. The company is undergoing a strategic transformation toward becoming an independent power producer with a stronger focus on renewable energy.

DEG has worked with Enerjisa Üretim since 2024. As part of a large consortium, DEG previously provided financing for nine onshore wind power plants with a combined capacity of 750 MW under Türkiye’s YEKA-2 renewable energy programme.

KfW IPEX-Bank is also a financier of Enerjisa Üretim’s activities. Through the latest financing, DEG is continuing its collaboration with the company and supporting the further expansion of renewable energy generation in Türkiye.
