Damage to TPP-4’s eighth boiler repaired www.gogo.mn

After a temporary malfunction that cut generation, the eighth boiler at TPP-4 has been repaired and the plant has returned to full operation, officials said.
A fault affecting TPP-4’s eighth boiler, combined with coal freezing on the feeder side at the Buuruljuut power plant, previously reduced generation capacity, reportedly dropping output from 300 MW to 120 MW and prompting two days of electricity restrictions in Ulaanbaatar.
As of January 21, 2026, the repair work on the eighth boiler was completed and TPP-4 is now operating at its rated capacity of 670 MW. All turbines and generators are running at full output, authorities said.
Officials warned the public that the plant has limited backup equipment and that any new damage to the aging facility could again force supply restrictions. The eighth boiler’s repair had originally been scheduled for summer 2026.

According to the preliminary results for 2025, general government revenue and grants reached MNT 32.6 trillion, an increase of 3.8 percent, or MNT 1.2 trillion, compared to the previous year. Balanced revenue and grants amounted to MNT 30.1 trillion, rising by 1.3 percent, or MNT 386.8 billion, year on year.
Meanwhile, total expenditure and net lending amounted to MNT 31.3 trillion last year, resulting in a balanced budget deficit of MNT 1.2 trillion, the National Statistics Office reported.
Tax revenue declined by 1.2 percent, or MNT 331.5 billion, to MNT 27.1 trillion in 2025. This decrease was mainly attributable to a 4.8 percent reduction in income tax revenue, equivalent to MNT 431.5 billion, and a 33.6 percent decline in royalties on mineral resources, amounting to MNT 1.2 trillion.
In contrast, social insurance revenue increased by 18.9 percent, or MNT 892.3 billion; value-added tax (VAT) revenue rose by 6.1 percent, or MNT 357.6 billion; property tax revenue grew by 32.3 percent, or MNT 148.3 billion; and revenue from foreign activities increased by 3.2 percent, or MNT 57.0 billion.

Of total income tax revenue, 66.3 percent was generated from corporate income tax, while 33.7 percent (including refunds) came from personal income tax.
General government expenditure and net lending reached MNT 31.3 trillion in 2025, marking a 2.3 percent increase, or MNT 698.1 billion, compared to the previous year. This was driven by a 5.3 percent rise in goods and services expenditure, equivalent to MNT 510.7 billion, and a 12.8 percent increase in current transfers, amounting to MNT 1.3 trillion. In the overall expenditure structure, current transfers accounted for 37.6 percent, goods and services for 32.2 percent, capital expenditure for 22.7 percent, interest payments for 5.0 percent, and subsidies for 2.6 percent.
Capital expenditure totaled MNT 7.1 trillion last year, down 11.0 percent, or MNT 880.3 billion, from the previous year. This decrease reflected a 26.0 percent reduction in equipment expenditure, or MNT 208.9 billion; a 3.2 percent decline in construction expenditure, or MNT 171.0 billion; and a 37.8 percent drop in other capital expenditures, equivalent to MNT 561.7 billion.

Mongolia's industrial output increases 4.8 pct in 2025 www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia's industrial output totaled 52.9 trillion Mongolian tugriks (14.8 billion U.S. dollars) in 2025, a 4.8 percent increase year-on-year, the country's National Statistics Office (NSO) said Wednesday.
This rise was mainly attributed to a significant increase in the output of main mining and extractive products and processing industry, the NSO said in a statement.
At present, the mining sector remains one of the main pillars of the Mongolian economy, as the country is rich in natural resources such as gold, silver, copper and coal.
Mining commodities, such as coal, copper and iron ore, constituted 99.2 percent of Mongolia's total exports in 2025, the data showed.

CHP-4 Boiler Damage Triggers Temporary Power Restrictions www.montsame.mn

A malfunction occurred at Thermal Power Plant No. 4 (TPP-4) in Ulaanbaatar on January 20, 2026, resulting in temporary restrictions on electricity supply to consumers. According to Minister of Energy Choijilsuren Battogtokh repairs to the plant’s boiler have been completed, and 100 MW of capacity was restored in the morning. The plant is expected to return to normal operating conditions within the day.
The Minister noted that temporary power restrictions cannot be ruled out when equipment malfunctions occur at power plants.
Due to a shortage of electricity capacity, Ulaanbaatar Electricity Distribution Network SOE implemented scheduled power restrictions across districts yesterday. The Ministry of Energy reported that while TPP-4 was operating at full capacity without backup equipment, damage occurred to the boiler’s heating surface, forcing the plant to shut down and leading to restrictions on 161 MW of electricity consumption. As a result, the National Dispatching Center limited power supply for up to 1.5 hours in certain locations and urged consumers to adjust their electricity use accordingly.
In addition, coal being fed into the boiler at the Booroljuut Power Plant froze and caused a blockage on the evening of January 20, which reduced output by 120 MW, prompting wider power restrictions. Consequently, electricity consumption was temporarily limited for 371,174 households and 46,691 business entities, affecting a total of 417,865 consumers.
For the 2025–2026 winter season, the projected peak load of the Central Regional Integrated Power Grid is estimated at 1,800 MW, while actual demand reached 1,803 MW two days ago. Heat sources supplying Ulaanbaatar’s centralized heating system were planned to operate at a total load of 2,019 Gcal per hour; however, as of yesterday, they were operating at 2,055 Gcal per hour.
As of January 20, thermal power plants had an average coal reserve sufficient for 10 days, totaling 408,000 tons, while fuel oil reserves stood at 3,023 tons.
Minister Choijilsuren further stated that Mongolia imports up to 300 MW of electricity from the Russian Federation. However, due to extreme cold reaching minus 50 degrees Celsius in some areas of Russia, supply constraints may occur, though efforts will be made to resolve the issue. He added that since 2024, Mongolia has commissioned electricity generation sources totaling 560 MW, but this remains insufficient to meet demand, which is growing by approximately 12 percent annually. The commissioning of an additional 600 MW of capacity by 2027 would make it possible to fully meet Ulaanbaatar’s electricity demand, the Minister said.

Malaysia wins appeal in lawsuit by family of murdered Mongolian woman Altantuya www.bloomberg.com

The family of model Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was murdered in 2006 by two bodyguards assigned to protect officials including former Malaysian premier Najib Razak, lost their bid for damages from the Malaysian government after a court on Jan 20 upheld its appeal. 
The Court of Appeal accepted a petition from the government to overturn the family’s victory in a civil lawsuit first brought more than 18 years ago, Justice Muniandy Kannyappan said on Jan 20 via video conference. 
The decision means a lawsuit that began in the aftermath of the Mongolian woman’s brutal killing may go all the way to Malaysia’s highest court.
Ms Sangeet Kaur Deo, the lawyer representing Ms Altantuya’s relatives, said the family intends to appeal to the Federal Court.
“I am not here to go after a sum of money,” Ms Altantuya’s father Shaariibuu Setev said in Kuala Lumpur. “I am just a person looking for justice for the past 20 years. I am looking for a sincere apology.”
The three-member bench of judges rejected an appeal from Ms Altantuya’s former lover, Mr Abdul Razak Baginda, ordering him to pay more than RM1.38 million (S$438,300) in damages to the family.  
Mr Abdul Razak, a former adviser to Najib, did not respond to a request for comment on whether he will appeal the court decision.
In October 2006, Ms Altantuya was abducted outside Mr Abdul Razak’s home and taken to a forest outside Kuala Lumpur where, court records show, she was shot twice in the head and blown up with explosives.
Mr Abdul Razak helped broker Malaysia’s 2002 purchase of submarines from a French state-owned company. Najib was defence minister then, and the deal is now being investigated for corruption in Malaysia and France.
Two secret-service policemen, Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar, who were part of a bodyguard detail for Najib and other senior Malaysian leaders, were convicted of her murder, but a motive was never established.
Mr Abdul Razak, who denies involvement, was charged with abetting the murder. He was later acquitted and the prosecution did not appeal at the time.  
Both Azilah and Sirul were sentenced to death.
Sirul fled to Australia, which will not extradite him because Malaysia retains capital punishment.
Azilah remains in prison in Malaysia, and his sentence was changed to 40 years after the government abolished the mandatory death penalty in 2023. Azilah used an earlier sworn affidavit to support his application for life imprisonment, in which he alleged Najib gave the order for the killing.
Najib has consistently denied any role in Ms Altantuya’s death. He was never charged, and has not been linked to the crime by any court finding.
In 2022, the government, Mr Abdul Razak and the two former secret-service policemen were found jointly liable for Ms Altantuya’s murder.
The family applied to the court for the judgment to be enforced because the parties have not paid damages yet.
In 2025, a judge ordered both the government and Mr Abdul Razak to pay RM4.7 million each in damages and deposit the funds until their appeals were heard. 
This latest ruling on Jan 20 means the family’s claim against the government has been dismissed and Mr Abdul Razak has to pay less in damages. 
Najib is in prison in Malaysia after being convicted of criminal breach of trust, abuse of power and money laundering in relation to 1MDB, the fund that became the centre of a multibillion dollar scandal which spawned probes across continents.
His sentence was halved to six years in 2024. 
In December 2025, Najib was sentenced to 15 years and fined RM11.4 billion on additional 1MDB charges. He has denied any wrongdoing.
In October, a Malaysian court gave Ms Altantuya’s father, Dr Shaariibuu Setev, permission to pursue a judicial review to compel the Malaysian authorities to investigate the contents of Azilah’s affidavit.
The case is ongoing. 
“I want to hear from Azilah on who gave the order” to kill Altantuya, Mr Shaariibuu said. “I am hopeful (about getting) an answer on that.”
