Renewable Energy (RE)
There are 31 sets of wind turbines in operation in the project. The installed capacity of the Salkhit wind farm is 49.6 MW of renewable energy generation. It supplies 168.5 GWh to the grid annually, replacing the same amount of electricity generated by fossil fuel-fired power plants..
As the first wind farm in Mongolia, the project aims to generate renewable electricity from wind power resources and supply it to the Central Electricity System Grid. The project avoids emissions equivalent to 190.405 tCO2 per year.
First wind power in Mongolia 
Around 190k t CO2 avoided per year 
50 MW renewable energy generation The project is located in the south of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Mongolia is one of the LLDC countries. As the first wind power plant constructed in Mongolia anually 168.5 GWh can be generated. Besides the project aims to support educational trainings and is actively empowering local communities.
The project is supporting a programme in partnership with indigenous people and the municipality to address local priorities.
The project provides vocational training on specific subjects related to wind project management and, together with GIZ, is setting up a programme to train future engineers.
Mongolia is classified as a Landlocked Developing Country (LLDC) and is therefore more likely to qualify under the updated GS criteria for renewable energy projects.
