    This study assessed the wind energy potential in Mongolia by analyzing wind speed data collected from 69 stations across the country. The data was categorized by region and analyzed using the Weibull distribution to determine the monthly mean wind speed and wind power density. Additionally, the study evaluated the potential reductions in the usage of CO2, water, and coal that could be achieved through the selection of wind turbines. To visualize the results, maps of wind power density and mean wind speed were created using a GIS program. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the potential of wind energy as a sustainable and environmentally-friendly energy source in Mongolia. Wind speed data were collected from 69 Wind Measurement Towers (WMTs) over the course of one year. The WMTs recorded wind speed measurements every three hours throughout the day at a height of 10 meters. The Gobi areas and east Mongolia have potential wind speed to build wind farms compared to Khangai and West Mongolia.
