New solar power plant opens in the central region
A mega solar power plant in Khushight Valley in central province was completed by the Japanese Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation.
A mega solar power plant in Khushight Valley in central province was completed by the Japanese Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation in partnership with renewable energy company Sermsang Power Corporation and Tenuun Gerel Construction LLC. The power plant is located approximately 14 km southwest of the new Ulaanbaatar International Airport, which is currently under construction. The 16.4 MW-dc solar power plant will generate over 23,000MWh per year, thus allowing a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The plant is expected to supply the electricity generated to the central grid system which is also connected to the capital Ulaanbaatar and the new airport. However, this new power plant will be able to supply electricity efficiently to the new airport and urban parts of Ulaanbaatar, areas predicted to see a rise in electricity consumption. The project was implemented in cooperation between the Governments of Mongolia and Japan. Mongolia's government aims to have renewable energy account for 30% of the country's energy mix by 2030.
