The US manufacturer will provide its 1.6MW machines to the Salkhit Wind Farm, located 70km southeast of Ulaanbaatar.
The 50MW project, set to start next year, is expected to generate 5% of Mongolia’s electricity.
Mongolia has vast wind energy potential via its sparsely populated plains and wind corridor along the Gobi desert.
However, it also has plentiful coal and a population of less than three million, creating little incentive thus far to develop new energy sources.
