Mongolia plans 8GW increase in wind power capacity www.the-eic.com
Mongolia plans to add 8GW to its wind power capacity after the successful launch of a 50MW wind farm last week.
Clean Energy Asia’s Tsetsii windfarm in Umnugobi province in the Gobi Desert came online on 6 October.
The country is focusing on its wind power development in anticipation of the so-called Asian super-grid, which is planned to connect Russia, India, China, South Korea and Japan and holds huge export potential for Mongolia.
Engie’s 55MW Sainshand wind farm, located southeast of Ulaanbaatar, is the next project due to come online with commissioning planned for 2018.
