Wind Energy in Edirne, Turkey

In the wind corridor of Edirne, northwest Turkey, this project turns a naturally exposed landscape into a steady source of clean power. Twenty 3-MW turbines anchor a 60-MW site that pushes out about 226 GWh of renewable electricity a year. Every megawatt generated here is one less pulled from fossil plants, cutting roughly 140,000 tCO₂ annually and stripping out the SOₓ and NOₓ that come with coal.

This is a Gold Standard–certified project (GS2763) run by Soluglu WPP / Steag. The turbines occupy only a small fraction of the land; farming continues around them as it always has. The result is simple: more renewable capacity on the grid, no expansion of fossil generation, and a landscape that keeps supporting local livelihoods. Backing this project means adding real renewable energy to a country still transitioning away from coal and locking in verified climate impact that actually shifts emissions downward rather than shuffling them around.
