The construction work of wind power stations in the kurttepe district of Intepe, Canakkale, which would produce 100 milion KW/h electrical energy, have been going on very fast. The chief of Intepe Muniplicity, Alaaddin OZKURNAZ, told that it has already been built 6 wind tribunes, and it is aimed to built 10 tribunes in the first phase. At the end of the project total 38 wind tribunes would be in action. Furthermore another project would be launched in the coming years and with the second project the number of wind tribues in Canakkale would increase up to 78. The first phase of the wind power tribune construction would produce 30.60 MegaWatt energy which is around half of the Can Thermic Energy Station. Mr Ozkurnaz added that it is expected to be built around 400 - 500 wind power tribues in the next 20 years in the kurttepe distrct of Intepe, Canakkale. Doing so, the largest wind power station of Turkey would be in the Canakkale region. Mr Ozkurnaz added that 'as being the infinitive energy sources, wind power stations should be encouraged by the Governments in order to decrease the energy dependence of Turkiye to the other countries'. The amount of the investment for the 38 wind tribunes is expected to be 40 Milion Euro.
