Mongolia has significant wind energy potential but currently relies heavily on thermal power. The Mongolian Wind Energy Association advocates for wind power and includes members from developers like GE and Qleantech. Several utility-scale wind farms have been built or are in development, such as the 49.6 MW Salkhit wind farm operational since 2013 and a planned 250 MW Oyutolgoi wind farm by Qleantech. National renewable energy policies have aimed to develop Mongolia's wind and other renewable resources since 2005.
