Монгол Улсын нар, салхины эрчим хүч: 2024 оны бодлогын тойм

Mongolia possesses significant solar and wind potential, estimated at 2,600 GW, yet renewable energy only accounted for approximately 9% of total electricity production in 2023. The government aims to increase the installed capacity of renewables to 30% by 2030 under the 'Vision-2050' long-term development policy. While 12 solar and wind projects were active in 2023 with total investments of 533.15 million USD, the sector faces challenges in gender equality, with female representation generally below global averages. Current policy is governed by the Energy Law (2001) and the Law on Renewable Energy (2007), with specific tariffs set for wind (up to 0.08 USD/kWh) and solar (up to 0.12 USD/kWh) as of 2019.

• Mongolia's renewable energy capacity is significantly underutilized relative to its potential; the country's solar and wind resources are estimated at 2,600 GW, which is 1,000 times greater than the current installed capacity of the electricity system (1.6 GW). In 2023, renewables contributed about 9% of total electricity production (wind 6.2%, solar 2.3%, water 0.5%), trailing the global average of 30%.
• The Mongolian government has set a target to reach 30% installed capacity for renewable energy by 2030, as outlined in the 'Vision-2050' long-term development policy and supported by the 'New Recovery Policy' of 2021.
• As of 2023, 12 solar and wind projects were operational in Mongolia with a total investment of 533.15 million USD, split between wind (364.5 million USD for 155 MW) and solar (168.65 million USD for 115 MW). Major international financiers include the EBRD, ADB, World Bank, and KfW.
• Gender representation in Mongolia's renewable energy sector is generally lower than global benchmarks. While the overall energy sector has 26% women and the renewable sector has 29%, specific projects vary widely: the 'Gegeen' solar plant has 43% women, whereas the 'Nar' solar plant employs only men. This is below the global average of 32% for renewables and 40% for solar plants.
• The regulatory framework includes the Law on Renewable Energy (2007), which establishes a tariff system. A 2019 amendment capped tariffs at 0.08 USD/kWh for wind and 0.12 USD/kWh for solar, compared to higher previous rates (0.08-0.095 USD for wind and 0.15-0.18 USD for solar).
