The Thermal Power Plant No. 5 with a capacity of 340 Gcal of heat and 300MW of electricity will be built in the 20th khoroo of Bayangol district, Ulaanbaatar.
Governor of the Capital City of Mongolia and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar Nyambaatar Khishgee remarked, “Ulaanbaatar has not built a single power plant in 41 years since 1984, resulting in the slow urbanization of the city. Therefore, preparations have been made to announce an international open bid for the Thermal Power Plant No. 5 (TPP-5) in May 2025 to increase the heat supply in the western part of Ulaanbaatar. An environmental impact assessment has been conducted, and the feasibility study has been revised. The new feasibility study concluded that the initially planned 10 hectares of land are insufficient for the construction of the power plant. With the additional land acquisition, the TPP-5 Project will be implemented on 15 hectares.
Enterprises and organizations affected by the land acquisition will be compensated or provided with equivalent land in accordance with the Land Law of Mongolia. The construction of TPP-5 will provide heat to Tavan Shar, 21st district, “Khilchin” Town, Tolgoit, Bayangolyn Am, Bayankhoshuu, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th districts. Approximately 51 thousand households will be provided with central heating.
Moreover, the Ulaanbaatar City Engineering Plant includes the expansion of the “Amgalan” TPP to improve heat supply to the eastern part of the city and significantly reduce the load on TPP 4.
