Mongolia’s Ministry of Energy is seeking contractors to develop and construct a 10 MW solar power plant in Khovd, the administrative centre of the province of the same name in the westernmost part of the country.

The project is backed by the World Bank’s International Development Association, which offers concessional loans and grants to the world’s poorest countries.

The selected developers will also be required to build a 35/110 kV substation and a 110 kV overhead transmission line to connect to the nearby Myangad substation and will provide operations and maintenance services for three years after the solar project is commissioned.

Developers have until November 15 to submit their bids.
