Mongolia is implementing several projects targeted at using renewable energy. Several plants have already been put into operation including the 50 MW ‘Tsetsii’ wind farm in Tsogttsetii Soum of Umnugobi Aimag and a 10 MW solar power plant in Khongor Soum of Darkhan-Uul Aimag.  Another solar power plant has been built in a suburb of Ulaanbaatar.

Last month, the ‘Monnaran’ 10 MW solar power plant began operation in the capital’s Songinokhairkhan district.  The solar farm project which combines agriculture and solar power generation is being implemented by Everyday Farm LLC, a joint Mongolian-Japanese company. Supported by the Japanese Government and with investment of USD 23 million from ‘Farmdo’ Company, the power plant’s construction started in 2015 and installation of 46 thousand 848 solar panels, construction of 20 km overhead electric lines and expansion of Bayanchandmani substation were completed within the project programme.
