The developers of the 50MW Tsetsii wind farm in Mongolia are seeking a contractor to help complete an extension to the Tavantolgoi substation, which will connect the project to the grid.
The wind farm, which will be located approximately 542km to the south of Ulaanbaatar in the Gobi desert, is being developed by the Mongolia’s Newcom Group and Japan’s SB Energy Corp with finance from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
It is expected to be complete in late 2017.
The National Power Transmission Grid Company owns and operates the substation and is responsible for the extension.
The work on the substation will involve the supply and installation of plant and equipment, including the switchgear foundation, quality control and design.
Tendering for the contract is expected to start during the third quarter of 2016.
