Hamburg, 14 December 2022. The Nordex Group has received an order from Coca-Cola İçecek A.Ş. (“CCI”), for the supply and installation of CCI’s first wind turbine. The order for an N133/4800 turbine also includes a ten-year Premium Service.
The turbine with a nominal capacity of 4.8 MW will be installed on a tubular steel tower with a hub height of 110 meters near Çorlu in the province of Tekirdağ in Eastern Thrace in Türkiye in April 2023.
