What are Mongolia's Energy goals?

The government of Mongolia has set targets to increase the share of generation capacity from renewable energy sources to 20% by 2023 and 30% by 2030, and to build export-oriented power plants.

Can Inner Mongolia achieve a low-carbon energy transition?

Therefore, both international experience and the realistic conditions in Inner Mongolia indicate that Inner Mongolia can realize a low-carbon energy transition through phasing out coal and advancing renewable energy development.

What type of energy is used in Mongolia?

In Mongolia, total primary energy supplies continue to be dominated by coal, and electricity generation is largely from coal-fired power plants, particularly combined heat and power plants. In 2018, 93% of all electricity was produced by thermal power plants, and 98% of all district heat was provided by coal-fired systems.

Which Mongolian electricity generating unit is currently planned for exports?

The only electricity generating unit in Mongolia currently planned for exports only is the Shivee Ovoo coal-fired power plant (Government of Mongolia, 2018). The Shivee Ovoo project has been under consideration since 2005 and has subsequently been delayed several times.

Does Mongolia's Electricity supply sector have a sector-level analysis?

This study presents main findings of the sector-level analysis on the Mongolian electricity supply sector led by NewClimate Institute. This project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI).

Does Mongolia rely on coal?

The Mongolian energy supply sector is heavily dependent on coal. In 2017, 70% of the total primary energy supply was supplied by coal, followed by 26% of oil and 4% from other sources (IEA, 2019). The situation is worse when it comes to the electricity sector where coal was responsible for 89% of total electricity generation in 2017 (IEA, 2019).
