R25 Kütahya project to incorporate anti-icing technology
The project will incorporate anti-icing technology designed to improve wind turbine performance in cold climates and challenging weather conditions. The technology is also expected to support the development of local capabilities in this field.
In addition, the cooperation is expected to contribute to Nordex Turkey's long-term investments in the country's domestic wind turbine manufacturing industry. Once implemented, the project is expected to support the further expansion of Nordex Turkey's domestic wind turbine blade manufacturing investments.
