Power Plants in Mongolia
Mongolia has 18 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 98th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 2 operating and 16 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 1.1 GW across 2 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Dundgovi province wind farm (2.4 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Tsetsens Mining & Energy LLC (2), Baganuur Power LLC (1) and CIty of Ulaanbaatar (1) — Tsetsens Mining & Energy LLC alone is named on 11% of them. 16 are in the pipeline, led by Dundgovi province wind farm (2.4 GW), proposed. They account for 22% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Mongolia.
