• The Parliament of Mongolia approved following laws and programs
related to renewable energy.
– In Article 11.1, Energy Regulatory Authority shall set tariffs and
prices of energy generated and supplied by renewable energy power
source connected to a transmission network within the following
tariff range/2007, amended in 2015/:
• US$ 0.08-0.095 per kWh of electricity generated and delivered
by a wind power source
• US$ 0.15-0.18 per kWh of electricity generated and delivered
by a solar power source
• US$ 0.045-0.06 per kWh of electricity generated and delivered
by a hydro power plant with capacity of less than 5000 kW;
– In Article 11.2, price difference of electricity generated by a power
source set forth in Article 11.1 of this law shall be reimbursed by the
supporting tariff/2015/.
– “National Renewable energy program” in June 2005 to promote and
extend renewable energy development in Mongolia. Program shall
be implemented in two stages /2005-2020/.

6 Future of renewable energy

• The entire territory of the country is estimated to be sunny in 270 to 300

days in a year. Yearly average daylight time is estimated as 2250-3300
hours.
• The yearly radiation is estimated as 1200-1600 kW per square meter and
its intensity is estimated as more than 4.3-4.7 kW/h

• As it is pointed out in wind energy atlas of Mongolia, the 10 percent

of the total territory or 160’000 square kilometer area is estimated as
suitable for wind energy application.
• It is estimated that 13 provinces have more than 20’000MW and 9
provinces have more than 50’000MW and Umnugobi province alone
4/2/2018
has wind energy potential of over 300’000MW. 11

6 Future of renewable energy

• There are 3800 small and big streams and rivers in Mongolia, which
could support 6417.7 MW of power and deliver 56.2 billion kWh of
electric energy in a year.
• The first type of renewable energy was a hydro power plant. The very
first one with capacity of 560kW was established in Kharkhorin city in
1959.
• As of now, 13 hydro power plant is operating in Mongolia
