Khanbogd wind farm

The project’s name comes from a close sacred mountain, Khanbogd.

The project is located in Umnogobi province, the southernest province which has a long border with China. The site is 50 km Southeast from the Oyu-Tolgoi mine (gold and copper) and Khan Bumbat airport, also 750 km South from Ulaanbaatar, the capital city.

The surroundings of the project are characterized by dry semi-desertic plain with few vegetation such as elm and saxaul trees. The soil, rocky grey and brown sandy clay loams, is the most visible feature.

The design of the wind farm is a double North-South line of wind turbines beginning 4 km above the Gashuun Sukhait Road and developing towards the North.

The connecting point to the National Transmission Power Grid is at the CES Oyu Tolgoi substation, just North of the mine. The overhead line will be around 65 km long toward North-West.

The wind farm layout is composed of 24 wind turbines, corresponding to the first phase of development of the project – 102 MW. The nominal capacity of each generator is 4,25 MW.

Due to Mongolia’s harsh climate, the construction of the wind farm needs to be planned with consideration of the winter season. Thus, the project is expected to produce electricity in Q4 – 2028, after the completion of the construction phase.
