The project marks the company\u2019s first renewable wind development in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Sainshand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/brazils-90mw-cristalandia-wind-farm-begins-operations\/\">wind farm<\/a> will have a total installed capacity of 55 megawatts and will generate sufficient energy to serve the needs of 130,000 people in Mongolia. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer and will be overseen by Tractebel, ENGIE\u2019s engineering arm. Commissioning of the facility is anticipated in the second half of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>For the development of the wind plant, a $120 million financing package was facilitated\u00a0by a group of international investors and financial institutions organized by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Once operational, the project will add to Mongolia\u2019s renewable capacity and support the government&#8217;s renewable energy goal, which is to have 20 percent of all power sourced from renewable energy by 2020 and 30 percent of all power by 2030.<\/p>\n<h2>More than green energy<\/h2>\n<p>In addition, the wind facility, located 280 miles southeast of Ulaanbaatar nearby Sainshand, the capital of Dornogobi Province, will boost the local and national economy through job creation and fiscal contributions.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cENGIE\u2019s ambition is to provide energy access-for-all (sic) through clean and renewable energy sources, especially to developing communities. Mongolia is facing an energy challenge due to increasing demand from industrialization and urbanization. As our first renewable energy project in Mongolia, ENGIE\u2019s investment in the Sainshand wind farm is consistent with our vision of leading the global energy transition, and the drive for decarbonization will significantly contribute to powering the country\u2019s energy needs in a sustainable way,\u201d <\/em>Paul Maguire, CEO of ENGIE Asia-Pacific, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sainshand wind farm will be located in the Gobi Desert and will generate enough green energy to serve the needs of 130,000 Mongolians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004188801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21825,21748,16,21742,21786],"tags":[37390,37392,37391,37389],"class_list":["post-1004188795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance","category-industrial","category-international","category-latest","category-sustainability","tag-engie","tag-european-bank-for-reconstruction-and-development","tag-european-investment-bank","tag-tractebel"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
