Salkhit Wind Farm
“Clean Energy” LLC (the Project Owner) has installed a wind farm in the area called Salkhit uul, which translates as “windy mountain”, about 70 km southeast of the country’s capital Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. The Clean Energy LLC has wind farm a capacity of 49.6 MW and generate (net) 168.5 GWh of electricity per year.

As the very first wind farm in Mongolia the Salkhit wind farm is greatly assisting the country in stimulating the commercialization of grid-connected renewable energy technologies and markets. The Salkhit wind farm is helping to reduce GHG emissions versus the coal-dominated business-as-usual scenario. Furthermore, the Salkhit wind farm is improving air quality and local livelihoods and promoting sustainable renewable energy industry development.
The average annual emission reduction is estimated by 190,405 tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) for the 2nd crediting period.
The specific goals of the project are to:
• generate electricity.
• help to stimulate the implementation of wind power in Mongolia.
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Mongolia compared to a business-as-usual scenario.
• create local employment opportunities during the assembly and installation of wind turbines, and for operation of the wind farm.
• reduce other pollutants resulting from the power generation industry, compared to a business-as-usual approach, such as SO2 and soot.
