Sam/Devon,

Perhaps there is a way to leverage the Turkey relationships and the
Iberdrola/Ormazabal, et. al relationships to make something happen here.

Take a look.

REpower Systems helps grow the natural energy resources in Turkey by
supplying 44 wind turbines to a wind farm in the Kirsehir province

Submitted on 11/30/10, 09:09 PM

Hamburg-based company REpower Systems AG, has agreed to contract out wind
turbines to Turkey-based Al Yel Elektrik, a subsidiary of Akuo Energy SAS.
This is to be the first time in which REpower will be supplying turbines to
the country of Turkey. 

In the summer of 2011, 44 wind turbines will be supplied for the Geycek wind
farm project. The turbines generating a total of 148.28 MW will result in
REpower's "biggest wind farm in Europe to-date." 

Eric Scotto, CEO of Akuo Energy, states, "We are very proud to announce the
beginning of the construction of our largest wind farm in Turkey. This
project will be one of the largest in Europe; this is a good start for us in
a very promising country for the wind industry and the renewable energies." 

In an effort to reduce the amount of environmentally-harmful fossil fuels, a
huge focus for Turkey has been on increasing renewable energy resources -
particularly wind energy. The future of Turkey is to become even more
reliant on natural resources. 

Hornung Pedersen, CEO of REpower Systems AG, hopes that this agreement is
the first of many to come within the Turkey market. Pedersen said, "Turkey
is a wind market with huge potential - experts are speaking of volumes of up
to 20,000 MW - which has barely been tapped so far. 

Turbines with a generating capacity of almost 1,000 MW are already in
operation there. In addition, the Turkish Government has announced that it
is going to revise the procedures for granting licenses and the remuneration
system for renewable energies in 2010. 

We have outstanding products in the 3.XM series and are happy that customer
confidence in the latest generation of turbines is being confirmed by larger
and larger orders and projects." 

Suzlon Energy is a major shareholder in REpower systems, a wind turbine
manufacturing leader
