  • Once this (grid energy storage) construction is put into operation, the independence of the central power system will reach a new level. In the context of energy recovery, renewable energy sources, including the construction of hydropower plants, will be made a priority, and we will make every effort to complete the construction of the Erdeneburen Hydropower Plant and start the Eg River Hydropower Plant project. Also, construction projects such as the expansion of Thermal Power Plant 3 to increase its capacity by 75 MW and upgrade to 250 MW, Tavantolgoi Thermal Power Plant, Baganuur Power Plant and Choibalsan Thermal Power Plant to increase capacity by 50 MW will be kicked off without delay. Most recently, the construction of the 116 MW Amgalan Thermal Power Plant, which will provide thermal energy for the eastern region of Ulaanbaatar City, has been started.
  • Mongolia is rich in energy resources, but economic progress has been stifled for 34 years due to a lack of energy transition. We are now addressing this gap with a series of reforms, and the results are beginning to show.
  • In 2024, we set a goal to increase Ulaanbaatar's energy capacity by 200 MW, and we achieved this goal within one year. Moreover, we managed to supply energy to the Central System ahead of schedule. This accomplishment ensures there will be no electricity restrictions during peak winter loads. Additionally, the Baganuur 50 MW Battery Storage Power Station began supplying energy to the Central System on 13 December 2024. This 50 MW Battery Storage Power Station operates in an energy-efficient manner, storing surplus electricity generated during night time and distributing it during peak hours.
