Mut Wind Farm
Mut Wind Farm is a wind power plant consisting of eleven wind turbines situated on Mt. Magras in Özlü in the Mut district of Mersin Province in southern Turkey. The wind farm went into service in 2010. Geography The farm is constructed on Mount Magras, a part of Toros Mountains range to the north of Mut district in Mersin Province.

The wind turbines are erected just to the northeast of the village Özlü and the farm is sometimes called the Özlü Wind Farm. Technical details There are eleven turbines each high with rotor diameter of . Maximum power output of each turbine is 3 MW and the total annual energy production is about 100 MWh. The energy is fed to Gezende Dam situated about southwest of Mut wind farm. Project The US$50 million project was carried out by Ağaoğlu Energy Group, and it is further planned to increase the number of turbines to 40. See also ...

Wind Farms In Turkey
Wind is the natural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet's surface. Winds occur on a range of scales, from thunderstorm flows lasting tens of minutes, to local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting a few hours, to global winds resulting from the difference in absorption of solar energy between the climate zones on Earth. The two main causes of large-scale atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect). Within the tropics and subtropics, thermal low circulations over terrain and high plateaus can drive monsoon circulations. In coastal areas the sea breeze/land breeze cycle can define local winds; in areas that have variable terrain, mountain and valley breezes can prevail. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed and direction, the forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, and their effect. Winds have various aspe ...
