Mongolia — Energy Infrastructure
OverWatts maps 81 energy assets in Mongolia across 7 layers — the 70th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 33 coal / uranium mines, 18 power plants and 17 iron ore mines. Operating generation capacity is 1.1 GW, led by coal at 100%.
The companies named on the most assets are Beren Group LLC (4), Beren Mining Co Ltd (4) and Sor Metal LLC (4), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Mongolia's mapped assets in service predate 2009 (median commissioning year of the 38 with a known date), 8 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Aduunchuluun Coal Mine, dating from 1955. 28 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Dundgovi province wind farm (2.4 GW).
