Project advantages
Wind resource assessment started at 2006 and in 2013 Wind Measurement MET towers were installed at the height of 80m and wind is measured in every 20m, 40m, 60m by world known international company. Upon Wind assessment average speed of wind is at 7,7m/sec which concludes the abundant resources of wind at the project site.
Project site`s land 486Hectar is located 5km distance from very good infrastructure developed city Sainshand. It is also located in distance of 250km from Zamiin-uud Port to China, which will save transportation and infrastructure costs.
Sainshand wind farm is contracted with Danish world leading company VESTAS to apply 25 Wind turbines and to become a second large scale Wind farm online in Mongolia with International standards.
