The Government decided to organize auctions to implement renewable energy projects through private sector investment. These include solar power plants with battery energy storage systems in Bugat soum of Bayan-Ulgii aimag, Umnugobi soum of Uvs aimag, Ulziit soum of Bayankhongor aimag, Baruun-Urt soum of Sukhbaatar aimag, and Bayantumen soum of Dornod aimag. A wind power plant project will also be auctioned for Saintsagaan soum of Dundgobi aimag.

The Government also instructed Minister of Energy Naidalaa Badrakh to conduct feasibility studies and organize auctions for privately funded renewable energy projects in the southern Gobi region. These include solar and wind power plants equipped with battery storage in Tsogttsetsii and Khanbogd soums of Umnugobi aimag and Mandakh soum of Dornogobi aimag. The projects are intended to harness the Gobi region's abundant renewable energy resources, address power shortages in southern Mongolia, and meet the growing electricity demand from the mining sector and regional development.

In addition, the Government directed the Ministry of Energy to organize auctions for privately financed projects featuring hybrid distributed solar generation and battery storage systems for soums and settlements, as well as electric vehicle charging stations, based on relevant feasibility studies. Contracts will be concluded with successful bidders in accordance with applicable legislation, and the projects will be commissioned in phases to improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply nationwide.
