Mongolia to construct solar plant in Sainshand www.news.mn
Mongolia's first ever solar power station began operation in the Khongor soum of Darkhan-Uul province on 19th of January. A second major solar plant will be constructed near the town of Sainshand in the Dornogovi province in Mongolia.
T.Enkhtuvshin, governor of Dornogovi has signed a cooperation agreement with E.Batzaya, director of ‘Desert Solar Power Waun’ LLC to construct the new power plant. The company is to begin construction work on the 30 mwt facility in May and plans to complete work by the end of the year.
The new power plant could potentially provide clean energy to households and to create 30-40 jobs.
Sainshand is the provincial capital of Dornogovi and an important town on the Trans-Mongolian railway. For many years it was planned to establish an 'industrial hub' in the vicinity for processing Mongolia's abundant raw materials. Currently, Sainshand is the proposed site of Mongolia's only oil refinery.
