The “Mandakh 100 MW Power Plant” project, located in Mandakh soum, Dornogovi province, is being developed by Tumen Ail Energy LLC as a strategically significant initiative aimed at enhancing the reliability of power supply in Mongolia’s Central and Southeastern regions.
The project is based on the approved coal reserves of the Bayan Shand coal mine and, upon connection to the Central Integrated Power System, will help address the current energy production deficit while meeting growing demand.
Project Scope and Technical Solutions
The power plant consists of two 50 MW generating units, with a total installed capacity of 100 MW. It is planned to start supplying power to the Central Integrated Grid beginning in 2028.
The project incorporates advanced technologies designed to minimize environmental impact, including:
Flue gas particulate filtration system to reduce dust emissions
Air-Cooled Condenser (ACC) – a low-water-consumption cooling solution specifically suitable for the Gobi region
Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler – ensuring complete fuel combustion, high efficiency, and environmentally friendly operation
International-standard waste management and monitoring systems
These technical solutions provide a solid foundation for long-term reliability, economic efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
Social and Economic Impact
Once commissioned, the “Mandakh 100 MW Power Plant” project will:
Create over 140 new permanent jobs
Increase employment opportunities and stable income sources for local residents
Develop paved roads, infrastructure, and essential engineering facilities as part of an integrated development plan
Improve the stability and reliability of power supply in the Gobi and Southeastern regions
Enhance Mongolia’s energy independence and strengthen the competitiveness of industrial zones
This project represents a long-term, impactful development contributing to local growth, regional infrastructure advancement, and national economic progress.
