Tumen Ail Energy LLC is implementing a 100 MW thermal power plant project based on the coal reserves of the Bayanshand mine, with the aim of contributing to the sustainable development of Mongolia’s energy sector. At a time when national electricity demand is continuously increasing, this project holds strategic importance by helping reduce the power generation deficit in the central region and ensuring a reliable energy supply for the Gobi and southeastern regions. 

Project Rationale 

• The Bayanshand coal deposit provides a reliable and sustainable resource base for power generation. 

• Electricity consumption in Mongolia is increasing year by year, creating a clear need for new energy generation sources. 

• There is an urgent requirement to reduce seasonal and peak-load shortages within the Central Power System. 

• The Gobi and southeastern regions are rapidly developing industrial and mining hubs, making a stable and dependable energy source essential. 

Project Objectives 

• Construct a modern 100 MW thermal power plant utilizing the reserves of the Bayanshand coal mine; 

• Enhance the efficiency and operational reliability of the Central Power System; 

• Stabilize the energy supply for the Gobi and southeastern regions and support the development of mining and industrial projects; 

• Reduce Mongolia’s dependence on imported electricity by increasing domestic power generation and contributing to import substitution. 

Expected Outcomes 

• Stable production and supply of 100 MW of electricity to the central grid each year; 

• Creation of new jobs and development of supporting infrastructure that contributes to regional growth; 

• Increased value of mining products and more efficient utilization of coal reserves; 

• Improved stability and reliability of the national power system, reducing the risks of outages and supply disruptions.
