In April 2011, the ERC organized annual meeting of the Regulatory Boards of
aimags and the capital city in Ulaanbaatar. About 80 delegates from 21 aimags,
Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, Energy Authority and Energy Regulatory
Authority participated in the meetings. During the annual meeting, participants
discussed about difficulties facing on energy supply in the rural area. According to
the discussion and issues arisen by the members of Regulatory Boards of aimags
and the capital city, ERC made plan and took related measures to resolve the above
mentioned difficulties.
Moreover, among the members of Regulatory Boards of aimags and the capital
city the ERC had conducted training on energy regulation, tariff and energy supply
issues which was very fruitful for the members.
In 2011, ERC organized site visits in Dornogobi, Uvs, Selenge, Khovd and
Darkhan-Uul aimags and gave recommendations to the members regarding their
tasks.

Using these 3 indices, the ERC received electricity supply interruption information
quarterly from transmission and distribution companies; through integration of this
data the ERC prepared quarterly summaries in 2011.

These indices were estimated for every distribution company in 2011 by reflecting
the scheduled outages, unscheduled outages, natural calamities, outages caused by
the fault of the licensee, and outages resulting from other licensees actions.
In 2011 the ISAIDI was 119 hours which was decreased by 52 percent from
previous year. ISAIFI was 12 per customer depicting a decrease of 2 units compared
with 2010.

However, in the Mongolian case, the lowest generation tariff will not be ranked
in first place. Instead, the generators who offered to reduce their generation tariff
by a higher percentage will be ranked in first. This affords an opportunity for the
power plants with significantly different tariffs to have an equal right to participate
in the auction market. Besides, due to the specific features of the electricity market
of Mongolia, we organized the auction market only on the growth of electricity
demand.
The auction market commenced operation on 1 August 2007. According to the
Electricity Auction Market Temporary Rule approved by the ERC, the National
Dispatching Center LLC developed and approved an Auction organization rule for
the electricity competitive market. In total, 4.45 million kilowatt-hours of electricity
which is equal to MNT 281.7 million traded in 2011 in the auction market. Power
Plants participated in the auction market decreasing their energy tariff by 0.2%.

Amount of electricity distributed to end users increased by 7.2% from the last
year, while heat distribution increased by 1.4% from last year respectively.
In 2011, the 19 largest energy licensees had a total operating revenue of MNT
329.6 billion and expenditures of MNT 368.8 billion; resulting in operational losses
of MNT 39.2 billion. Balance loss after tax payment reached up to MNT 2.2 billion. In
2011, 7 companies in central region and 6 companies in local region were subsidized
totally MNT 32.7 billion form the State budget.

Based on the operational performance of the first three quarters of 2011, the
proper level of financial relations was defined for each of the 19 larger Licensees,
and relevant studies on necessary measures for reaching their level were carried out,
and the required methodology was identified.
ENERGY REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Following measures were taken in order to improve the financial status and
financial relations performance of the companies and reduce debts and receivables.
A certain portion of the subsidy is computed separately from the tariff
income for the purpose to reduce the debts and receivables;
The issue concerned with the debt amount of 1,5 billion tugrigs to be
paid by Ulaanbaatar Electricity Distribution Network SOJSC to the stateowned companies like Thermal Power Plant-2 SOJSC, Thermal Power
Plant-3 SOJSC, and Thermal Power Plant-4 SOJSC accumulated by the
year 2011 was discussed at the meeting of the Regulatory Board, the
relevant tariff regulations were made by the resolution #103, 2011 of the
board, and consequently, the company settled the payment of the debt by
the end of December 2011;
Furthermore, upon the resolutions #107,108 and 109, 2011 of the ERC, the
obligation to pay off the coal mines debts from the capital concentrated
from the receivables of Ulaanbaatar Electricity Distribution Network
SOJSC was given to the state-owned companies such as Thermal Power
Plant-2 SOJSC, Thermal Power Plant-3 SOJSC, and Thermal Power
Plant-4 SOJSC and the question was duly implemented.

This Program on enhancement public education in the energy sector has been
worked out within the framework of the Efforts for developing and implementing a
program on enhancement of public knowledge of energy sector activities, difficulties
and tariff perspective policy reflected the authority objectives approved by the
Order #01, 2011 of Chairman of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). The
purpose of the program is to make the public understand the necessity to transfer
the energy sector to the market relations, provide the consumers with correct and
clear information on the activities of the energy sector, educate them about the
benefit and proper consumption of energy, change the perception and tendency
of the main decision-makers, economic entities and enterprises, professional
associations and media persons through promoting a close cooperation with them,
create a positive public opinion by arising the social reputation of the ERA. The basic
theme of the program consists in the question How to use the energy properly and
reasonably? This issue has a double target to provide a support for transferring
the energy sector to the market relations. Also, there were comprised the items
concerned with the ways and methods for program implementing, works to be
done, collaboration groups, and funding.
ENERGY REGULATORY
COMMISSION
The program is developed with the joint efforts of Mr. Megan ONeil, the
project relations manager from the USAID/EPRCP and Mr. Amarsanaa, the media
expert.
Following works have been carried out within the framework of the program.
These are:
In total, 15 news, publications and interviews on the issue of tariff
alteration have been released by the Energy Regulatory Commission to the
daily newspapers and internet sites.

Concerned with the electricity payments 21,8%
ENERGY REGULATORY
COMMISSION
So, the works intended to settle these complaints of the consumers were
revised in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations by carrying out the
works to conduct the on-site inspections jointly with the relevant licensees, organize
meetings with consumers and suppliers, sent official letters, state inspector demand
and notice, provide the licensees with the operational guidelines, and to keep a
control over the activity and problem-settlement of the relevant licensees.
During the process of settling the complaints submitted from the consumers,
it has been revealed that the complaints connected with the payment for heating
the hot water occupy a major percent, and in connection with this, we have made
a request for the licensees to issue the performance of the ERC Resolution #163,
2008, and thereafter the payment for heating the hot water has been renewed
upon the Resolution #95 from October 04, 2011 of the Regulatory Board of the ERC.
