School No.49 becomes 100% solar-powered www.gogo.mn

Installation of 72 solar panels on the roof of General Education School No.49 in the capital is complete, making it the city’s first school to fully replace its electricity consumption with on-site renewable energy.
The school previously spent MNT 2–3 million per month on electricity, paid from the district budget. By switching to solar, School No.49 now saves that monthly cost and has become largely independent of the central power supply. Officials say the system also generates occasional excess power that can be fed into the central grid.
N.Manduul, Governor of Chingeltei District,  said the project increases the school’s energy security and reduces operating costs while demonstrating a model for other institutions to follow.

'Mongolian Jingle Bells' goes viral as people think it's the 'best version ever' www.unilad.com

Hearing the same Christmas classics every year can leave you dreading the festive season and its seemingly never-ending loop of the same songs. But this year, the internet has fallen in love with an entirely new rendition of a song we all know a little too well.
Mongolia might not be the first, or even hundredth, place you'd associate with Christmas, but perhaps that is part of the magic of Ummet Ozcan's version of 'Jingle Bells' that has caused it to rack up millions of views and rave reviews.
Likely the first festive track to combine Mongolian throat singing, techno, and a 150-year-old Christmas song, Ozcan's new rendition has been called the 'best version so far' and had people say they 'would have way more fun shopping if this played in the stores.'
'Miracle' at Las Vegas church
This take on the 1857 composition cuts most of the 'dashing through the snow' lyrics, simply repeating 'Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride in a Mongolian open sleigh' in the country's traditional reverberating singing style.
It's been a hit with listeners (@UmmetOzcanOfficial/YouTube)
It's been a hit with listeners (@UmmetOzcanOfficial/YouTube)
Dutch DJ Ozcan, who is of Turkish heritage, was encouraged to release a full-length track after showcasing a short throat-singing version of the Christmas classic and sending the internet wild - dropping a full music video with people in traditional Mongolian garb dancing to his new hit.
With millions viewing the song within just days of release, Ozcan also released 'Mongolian Jingle Bells' on Spotify so that everyone can add it to their Christmas playlists.
Part of the song's instant appeal is its unique use of 'throat singing', a traditional singing style used on the wide open plains of Mongolia, where a herder creates a melody by manipulating their vocal cords to sing two notes simultaneously.
It even drew the approval of the big man himself, with the official 'Santa Claus' Instagram account sharing the track and saying: "The elves are rocking to this in the workshop right now. I keep having to remind them to stop dancing and finish up the last of the gift requests!"
Play
Sharing his innovative techno-Mongolian Christmas banger, the DJ said: "This started as a fun idea… and thanks to your insane requests, it turned into a full song and music video.
"Hope this brings some warmth and joy in the days leading up to Christmas."
And if Ozcan's version of 'Jingle Bells' has left you needing more Mongolian Christmas music, a desire that could never have existed before the internet, you actually might be in luck.
Back in the distant past of 2014, a Mongolian folk group called The Altai Band actually released a genuine throat-singing version of that Christmas classic.
Unlike Ozcan's techno banger, Altai use traditional instruments and gather around in a group to belt out a more melodic version in their own language and traditional garb.
While it's not quite 'rave at the Christmas party,' it left some listeners feeling the festive spirit.
One YouTube user remarked: "This has the same kind of emotional vibe as when family and friends would gather around and play with the guitar or banjo or whatever instruments. Where on the opposite side of the globe, here in Texas. But music really is the universal language."

Police charge Mongolian embassy worker for drunk driving resulting in 3-vehicle crash www.koreajoongangdaily.joins.com

The Mongolian national is accused of causing the crash near Sinsa Station in southern Seoul at around 6 a.m. on Dec. 12, resulting in minor injuries to the drivers of the other vehicles, according to police.
At the time, the individual's blood alcohol level was high enough for driver's license revocation.
The embassy employee is entitled to immunity from criminal proceedings despite not being a diplomat.
Police plan to question the individual and check whether immunity will be invoked.

Second-Stage EPC+F Tender Announced for Ulaanbaatar Metro Project www.montsame.mn

The Integrated Project Management Office (IPMO) reported today, December 24, that following the evaluation of the first-stage tender of the Ulaanbaatar Metro Project, the tender documents for the second stage (Package I), intended for shortlisted bidders, have been finalized. Accordingly, the second-stage tender is officially announced on December 24, 2025, under an EPC+F arrangement. The tender is scheduled to be opened on May 1, 2026.
The first-stage tender for selecting the EPC contractor for the construction of the “Ulaanbaatar Metro” project was announced in October 2024 and opened in April 2025. A total of 27 companies and organizations from seven countries - the United Kingdom, the Russian Federation, France, India, the People’s Republic of China, Mongolia, and the Republic of Korea - submitted qualification documents.
According to the IPMO, the second stage of the project will be implemented in two packages. The estimated budget for Package I is MNT 6.6 trillion, of which the selected contractor is required to propose financing for 85 percent of the total cost as part of the tender submission, while the remaining 15 percent will be financed from the Capital City budget. The tender for Package II is planned to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2026.
A partnership led by Dohwa Engineering of the Republic of Korea was selected as the project management consultant for the Ulaanbaatar Metro project. Since July 2024, the consultant has prepared the revised feasibility study and conceptual design, which have been reviewed and approved in stages by relevant government authorities.
According to the revised feasibility study, the Ulaanbaatar Metro will be constructed along Peace Avenue, with a total length of 19.4 kilometers, built 20–30 meters underground, and comprising 15 stations. The system is designed to carry up to 17,000 passengers per hour per direction during peak periods. By 2030, when daily trips in Ulaanbaatar are projected to reach 4.5 million, the metro system is expected to accommodate approximately 450,000 daily passenger trips.
Upon completion, the project is expected to reduce road congestion in Ulaanbaatar by 18 percent. Travel time between Tolgoit and Amgalan is projected to decrease by 32 minutes compared to current conditions. The feasibility study estimates that economic losses caused by traffic congestion and excessive private vehicle use will be reduced by approximately USD 600 million annually. 
In addition, the project will support 150–200 commercial and service enterprises at metro stations and create conditions for the concentration of over 150,000 jobs in station-area zones, contributing positively to urban economic activity. From an environmental perspective, the project is expected to reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 213,000 tons, equivalent to the emissions generated by around 20,000 traditional Mongolian gers.
