08/01/2010 Wind Prospect is set to bolster its European expansion with the opening of offices in both Istanbul and Warsaw during the first quarter of 2010.
The news comes hot on the heels of an announcement by Wind Prospect that it has secured a major European contract covering several countries, including Poland, Bulgaria and Sweden.
Wind Prospect has already recruited local personnel for the new Turkish and Polish offices as it looks to hit the ground running in 2010.
Both countries are seen as a core part of Wind Prospect’s European development strategy, with installed generation in Turkey alone, leaping from 50MW in 2006 to 433MW in 2008. Several GW of development projects are now in the pipeline and likely to come to fruition in 2010.
David Groves heads up the Advisory Services team and is confident about the scalability of wind development in both countries for Wind Prospect. David said:
“With the impetus of recent contract wins in Europe and building on the opening of our Paris office in 2007, we have taken the decision to open an office in Istanbul and another in Warsaw, providing support and advice on all aspects of development, from due diligence to construction and operations.
“Both Poland and Turkey have huge potential for commercial wind development, with Turkey alone seeing major growth in its installed capacity and a queue of projects waiting in the wings. By opening offices in both countries we get closer to the projects and are able to increase our levels of support to clients with interests in Eastern Europe.”
David is optimistic about prospects for further international office openings, as demand for Wind Prospect’s development expertise continues to accelerate throughout Europe and beyond.
