First Largest Solar Power Plants in Remote Areas
The first-ever largest solar power plant in a remote area of Mongolia is under construction to be completed in December 2023. It is a 10MW Solar power plant in Murun soum of Khuvsgul
The technological and financial potential of solar and wind energy in Mongolia is determined in a two-step approach while considering the geographical feasibility.
From the literature survey, it is observed that for the study area of Mongolia, only a handful of studies have been conducted in the field of techno-economic wind and solar potential using GIS. A notable study was performed in 2001 by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) .
Two major cities nearby Ulaanbataar, Erdenet and Darkhan, which are also connected to one of the five grid systems in Mongolia named the Central Energy System (CES), could provide an additional 59.5 GWh and 24.1 GWh, respectively. Erdenet has a potential of installing 35 MW and Darkhan 14 MW of rooftop PV.
The combined technical wind and solar potential is estimated at 7.25 TW capacity, generating 12.17 PWh/year of electricity. The results look promising, especially for ground-mounted PV, which can partly be traced back to Mongolia's favorable geographic and weather conditions, as well as to the generous Feed-in Premium.
