Energy in Mongolia

Mongolia had a total primary energy supply (TPES) of 6.66 Mtoe in 2019. Electricity consumption was 7.71 TWh.[1] Mongolia is a big producer of coal, which is mostly exported.[2] Domestic consumption of coal accounts for about 70% of Mongolia's primary energy and makes up most of the electricity generation, accounting for about 87% of the domestic electricity production in 2019.[1]

Renewable energy

Salkhit Wind Farm, south of Ulaanbaatar

In 2018, 7% of Mongolia's electricity came from renewable power sources, mainly wind power.[6] Mongolia has very sunny weather with average insolation above 1,500 W/m2 in most of the country, making solar power highly available.

In 2017, Mongolia commissioned the 10 MW Darkhan Solar Power Plant in Darkhan-Uul Province, the first photovoltaic power station in the country.[7] 247 MW of solar power plants have been approved for construction. Guaranteed power purchase agreements and favorable tariff structures promote further growth of the industry.[6]

Electricity consumption

In 2018, much of Mongolia's electricity consumption was driven by industry and construction.
