Policy support

Government of Mongolia approved programIntegrated Energy System in 2002.

Will carry out study and build Wind Farm in the

Gobi region.

Build a Wind Farm in Central region and connect to

CES (nearest around Ulaanbaatar).

In June 2005 GOM approved National RenewableEnergy Program


4/18

Wind farm project

- Location: Southern Mongolia, Manlai soumUmnugovi province

- Meet growing energy demand

- Reduce electricity import from Russia

- Contribute air pollution reduction in

Ulaanbaatar

- RE development in Mongolia


5/18

Big deposit copper and gold in Oyutolgoi-

estimated energy demand 170MW/h

Tavantolgoi coal mine

Tsagaan Suvarga copper mine

South Electricity Grid (main line 220kV)

Total about 300MW/h

Power demand


6/18

Wind resource

annual wind speed of6.4-7.1 m/s

annual mean wind power density of300-400 W/m2 at 30 m

height level

Wind resource is quite well, more than 10% of the total

territory has been estimated for utility scale wind power

application and its 1.1 million MW of installed capacity,

and deliver over2.5 trillion kWhs electric energy per year

Impacts

Positive impact:- Avoidance of air pollution

- Human health and welfare

- Poverty reduction

Negative impact:

- Bird killing

- Noise

- Visual impact

- Telecommunication interference


9/18

Wind Farm Capacity

Possible power up to 100MW

Planned capacity 40MW

- Transportation

- Installation

- Grid voltage stability


10/18

Candidate turbine range 500-1000kW

47 wind generators with unit capacity 850 KW

will be installed (Vestas).

Turbine must 49m 850kW turbine will produce 2.4GWh/year

Capacity factor 32.2%

Annual production about 100GWh/year

Technical options


11/18

Technology Transfer

Mongolia does not have experience on application

utility scale wind farms. The first Mongolianwind farm will bring followings:

The projects success would certainly promote other wind

power projects in Mongolia, especially in the Gobi andSteppe region.

Due to technology transfer from the wind energy project,

participation by local experts would increase skills and new

technology study.National production of some equipment needed and can be

foreseen for wind projects.

Employing local people, who will learn modern technology

during project implementation

Project Baseline and GHG Abatement

Calculation

Baseline Project Selection

As part of the energy sector restructure anddevelopment plan the Government of Mongoliaplanning to built/or expand existing power plant.Developing wind farm in Mongolia could be one

possibility to replace some capacity of coalpowered plants. Therefore it is reasonable tochoose 40 MW coal powered plant as the baselineof this project.


13/18

Project Baseline and GHG Abatement

Calculation

Calculation of total project GHG reduction

Electricity generated by the turbine will offsetthat generated from conventional sources andcarbon dioxide emissions associated withconventional generation will be reduced as aresult. The total annual GHG emissionreduction of Manlai soum center 40 MW windfarm is estimated as 97103 tones of CO2e.

Financial analysis

Financing sources Life time 25 years

The IRR is 2.6% without considering

CERs, 4.9% with CERs. Investment payback period 12 years.

GHG reduction 97 thousands tons of CO2

per year. GHG reduction cost is 5 US$/tCO2


16/18

Barriers

Policy support (RE law)

Finance

Public awareness

Capacity building

Lower tariffs


17/18

CONSLUSION

abundance potential for wind farm

Contribute for future energy needs in southern area

Constitute investment opportunities

Strengthening capacity building

High cost of electricity from wind generation

Particularly reduction GHG emission Impulse to RE development
