Salkhit Wind Farm, Mongolia
178,778 tonnes of CO2e avoided annually
By generating clean electricity from wind, this project significantly reduces Mongolia’s reliance on fossil fuels.
Mongolia’s first grid-connected wind farm
Salkhit Wind Farm is a pioneering renewable energy project, setting the standard for future developments in the region.
Catalyst for national energy transformation
This project not only supplies clean power but also builds the technical expertise needed to grow Mongolia’s renewable energy sector.
Salkhit Wind Farm - is the first and most vital step in the development of renewable energy within Mongolia, as the first wind farm to supply wind energy to the national grid. With over 91% of all energy produced in Mongolia occurring from fossil fuel combustion - this project is designed to be the first of many to have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions within the country. The expected total annual net electricity generation of Salkhit Wind Farm is 168.5 GWh with an emission reduction of 178,778 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) each year.
Separate to the significant emission reductions, the key secondary benefits of the project are to stimulate the implementation of other renewable energy sources across the country, by improving the technical knowledge and expertise in the construction, commissioning, and safe operation of wind farms in Mongolia.
As a pioneering project, Salkhit Wind Farm has proven renewable energy can be established in regions of the world with the most extreme temperature variations - with Mongolian winter temperatures dropping to -50°C and summer temperatures rising to 50°C. By establishing itself with ‘proof of concept’ within in the region, further projects have already received approval and funding to ensure clean energy continues to grow and have a significant impact for decades to come.
A standalone and significant project, Salkhit Wind Farm will have long lasting benefits within a developing and environmentally challenging part of the world.
