ADB to Support Mongolia’s Largest Solar and Battery Storage Project for Energy Security www.adb.org

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been appointed by the Government of Mongolia to serve as transaction advisor for the Stable Solar Energy in Mongolia Project, a landmark renewable energy initiative that will significantly expand the country's clean energy capacity while improving grid stability and reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports.
The project envisions the development of about 115 megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity and 65 MW / 237 megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Mongolia's Western and Eastern Energy Systems — two of the country's most critical yet isolated grid networks. Once operational, it will represent one of Mongolia's largest renewable energy procurements and the nation's first-ever combined solar and BESS auction.
A Major Milestone in Mongolia's Clean Energy Transition
Mongolia's vast steppes and high solar irradiance provide ideal conditions for solar power generation, but the country's energy system remains heavily dependent on coal-fired plants and imported electricity, particularly from neighbouring Russia. The new project aims to change that by delivering reliable, affordable, and low-carbon power to some of the nation's most remote areas.
"ADB is proud to support Mongolia in advancing its clean energy transition through innovative renewable energy and storage solutions," said Shannon Cowlin, ADB Country Director for Mongolia. "This project will help strengthen energy security, enable greater integration of renewables, and lay the foundation for larger investments in solar and BESS in the years ahead."
The project will deploy advanced battery technologies to store solar energy and provide key grid services such as peak shifting, frequency regulation, and voltage stabilization. By balancing supply and demand more efficiently, the system will make it possible to integrate a higher share of intermittent renewable energy into Mongolia's electricity network.
Supporting a More Reliable and Self-Sufficient Grid
Mongolia's Western Energy System (WES) and Eastern Energy System (EES) are not connected to the central grid and have historically struggled with reliability challenges and limited access to clean power. The addition of solar generation and battery storage will stabilize these networks, helping reduce blackouts and voltage fluctuations while lowering costs associated with fossil fuel imports.
According to ADB experts, the project will also play a vital role in helping Mongolia diversify its energy mix and cut greenhouse gas emissions, in line with its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.
Transparent Bidding and Private Sector Participation
The Stable Solar Energy in Mongolia Project will be implemented through a competitive, transparent auction process, designed to attract private sector investors and independent power producers (IPPs). ADB's transaction advisory role will include structuring the project, designing the tender process, and advising on risk allocation and regulatory frameworks to ensure fair competition and investor confidence.
ADB will also help the government establish long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and create a replicable model for future renewable energy and storage investments in the country.
Aligned with Mongolia's Long-Term Energy Vision
The project directly supports Mongolia's State Policy on Energy (2015–2030) and the government's New Recovery Policy, both of which prioritize energy diversification, decarbonization, and infrastructure modernization. It is also consistent with Mongolia's long-term vision to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, emphasizing the role of clean energy as a cornerstone of economic resilience and sustainability.
Through its collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, ADB aims to ensure that the project contributes to national energy security, job creation, and technological advancement in renewable energy and energy storage systems.
Mongolia's Expanding Renewable Energy Ambitions
Mongolia's renewable energy sector has grown rapidly over the past decade, with solar and wind projects now accounting for nearly 20% of installed capacity. However, the potential remains largely untapped — the country's solar energy resources are estimated at more than 4,500 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually, among the highest in Asia.
By adding battery energy storage to its renewable infrastructure, Mongolia will be able to maximize solar output, store excess generation, and stabilize supply during periods of low production or high demand — a crucial capability for a country with a cold climate and vast, sparsely populated terrain.
Driving Regional and Climate Benefits
ADB's involvement in the Stable Solar Energy Project also aligns with its broader Energy Policy 2021, which focuses on supporting low-carbon, inclusive, and resilient energy systems across Asia and the Pacific. The initiative will contribute to regional climate action goals and set a model for other countries transitioning from fossil fuel dependence to integrated clean energy systems.
In addition to improving energy access and reliability, the project will help reduce air pollution, create local employment opportunities, and promote green technology transfer.
Looking Ahead
Once completed, the Stable Solar Energy in Mongolia Project will stand as a flagship example of sustainable infrastructure development, showcasing how renewable energy combined with storage can deliver both economic and environmental benefits.
"Mongolia's clean energy transition is gathering momentum," Cowlin added. "With ADB's support, this project will demonstrate that renewable power and innovation can drive energy security, stability, and prosperity for all."

Hunnu City Power Infrastructure Nears Completion www.montsame.mn

Plans are underway to establish key institutions in Hunnu City, including government offices, a free economic zone, universities, a student campus, and integrated transport and logistics facilities.
According to the Governor’s Office of the Capital City Ulaanbaatar, electrical and infrastructure works are progressing as part of this initiative. The “Hunnu” substation is designed to supply electricity to new developments and future buildings within the administrative zone of the city.
The project includes a 110kV overhead power line, a 2x40 MVA 110/35/10 kV “Hunnu” substation, a control building, three enclosed 10 kV distribution units (RP-1, RP-2, RP-3), and a 10kV transmission cable network. Construction and installation are being carried out by Da Khot LLC and Concept Capital Solutions LLC, with progress currently at 84 percent.
Under the long-term development strategy “Vision 2050,” Hunnu City is envisioned as Mongolia’s principal transport and logistics hub, strategically centered around Chinggis Khaan International Airport in the Khushig Valley. The city is also expected to evolve into a unified air passenger gateway for Northeast Asia.
Project initiators anticipate that Hunnu City will ease congestion in Ulaanbaatar and contribute to national economic growth by 10-15 percent. The development of the Bogd Khaan Railway, a free economic zone, and an integrated transport and logistics center will support this goal.
On June 5, 2024, the Parliament of Mongolia adopted the Law on the Legal Status of Hunnu City, officially designating it as a satellite city of Ulaanbaatar with strategic functions. The law establishes Hunnu City’s special administrative structure, economic framework, and governance model and mandates integrated development with Tuv aimag to generate shared economic benefits.

Mongolia Commissions 53 New Factories as Part of ‘Food Revolution’ Plan www.montsame.mn

President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa visited national manufacturing enterprises within the framework of the National Movement for “Food Supply and Security.”
President Khurelsukh’s first stop was at the “Agro Feed” plant of Tumen Shuvuut JSC. He was received by Chairman of the Board L. Erkhembayar and Chief Executive Officer J. Bold, who briefed him on the company’s equipment upgrades, new facilities, and operations.
With the help of a long-term concessional loan, Tumen Shuvuut JSC commissioned its "Tumen Shuvuut-2" plant last year and is currently building its next facility. The company plans to produce 170 million eggs this year and 250 million next year, which will meet 40 percent of domestic demand, reaching 50 percent by 2026 when operating at full capacity. Its Agro Feed plant produces poultry and livestock feed, supplying 25 poultry farms in 21 provinces. Production is expected to reach 40,000 tons this year and 55,000 tons next year.
The company purchased 38,000 tons of locally grown wheat, bran, and oats this year and plans to buy 53,000 tons in 2026. Its executives also introduced a project for breeding Dorper sheep, a meat-oriented livestock species. Established in 2004, Tumen Shuvuut JSC operates four subsidiary plants with over 360 employees, producing 17 types of packaged eggs, 10 types of animal feed, and organic fertilizer made from poultry manure. The company has more than 19,000 shareholders and distributed MNT 10 billion in dividends between 2019 and 2023.
Before 2020, Mongolia imported over half of its egg supply, while domestic producers operated with outdated equipment and facilities. Since the launch of the National Campaign for Food Supply and Security in 2022, the number of enterprises has increased, their capacity and equipment have improved, and production has grown accordingly. Within the next two years, over 30 domestic poultry farms are expected to raise a total of 3 million birds, producing an average of 650 million eggs per year, enabling Mongolia to meet 80 percent of domestic demand this year and achieve full self-sufficiency next year.
President Khurelsukh expressed appreciation to the national enterprises and wealth creators that have shown commitment and delivered tangible results under the campaign, which aims to ensure Mongolia’s self-sufficiency in 19 key food products. To date, over 3,000 enterprises have received MNT 1.2 trillion in long-term concessional loans under the Food Supply and Security National Movement.

State Emergency Commission orders readiness amid fuel-shortage risks www.gogo.mn

On October 28, the State Emergency Commission held a meeting to respond to complaints from rural and local residents about fuel shortages and to coordinate preparedness measures.
S.Amarsaikhan, Chief of the State Emergency Commission and Deputy Prime Minister, urged agencies to provide regular, transparent updates to the public about fuel availability across the capital, provinces and local gas stations, reporting where supplies are depleted and where deliveries are being made. He warned that, although the fuel shortage is expected to be resolved soon, secondary effects, such as higher hay-transport and interstate freight costs, could push up prices for imported goods and fodder.
“The State Emergency Commission instructed relevant organizations to prepare thoroughly for winter from June to August, to monitor supplies of fuel, gasoline, fodder and hay, and to visit affected provinces. However, some difficulties are beyond our control; the government, private sector and local authorities must work together to overcome them” he said.
S.Amarsaikhan stressed that keeping thermal power plants operating normally and maintaining renewable generation are essential to reduce winter hardship. He noted that peak winter electricity demand in the central region could reach 1,800 MW, creating a significant risk if not managed, and ordered agencies to develop step-by-step contingency plans.
The commission also instructed authorities to monitor herders moving to mountain pastures and to ensure the safety of their livestock as a severe winter is expected in western provinces. With about 1.1 million head of livestock already in the grass-fed area, and that number likely to rise, the commission ordered measures to secure uninterrupted supplies of food, feed and fuel for herders, to provide rapid assistance when roads are blocked, and to keep emergency, health and police services available without delay.
Provinces and soums emergency commissions were directed to operate 24 hours a day to respond promptly to any crisis.
