The Mongolian Government has approved MNT5 billion for the fighting air pollution in 2017, of which a total of  MNT3.5 billion will be for the zero electricity night-time tariff. The night-time electricity tariff, specifically between 9 pm and 6 am, has been zeroed for households in the so-called "ger (or yurt) districts" starting from January 1^st 2017. This adjustment measure, aimed to reduce air pollution, will last until 1^st April.

The Energy Regulatory Committee has estimated that the 146 thousand households in the Ulaanbaatar ger districts consume an average 200-250 kwt/ hour electricity. Coal burning by the households of the ger districts, mostly located on the north side of the city, contributes to the severity of air pollution in wintertime and accounts for 70-80 percent of all harmful emissions in the city.
