Solar and wind energy resource potential in Mongolia

Comparing total annual energy consumption of Mongolia to its energy resources shows huge potential to supply electricity to the country and the countries in Northeast Asia.

China was the world's largest power generator as of 2011. Fossil fuels, particularly coal, continue to be the leading sources of the country's electricity generation and installed capacity. China has a goal to produce at least 15% of overall energy output by 2020 from renewable energy sources as the government aims to address environmental issues. Chinese companies invested $65 billion in renewable energy projects in 2012, 20% higher than investments in 2011, and they plan to spend $473 billion on clean energy investments between 2011 and 2015, according to the country's Five-Year Plan

Power sector and its exporting strategy

•  A solution to Chinese the imbalanced distribution of resource and energy

Source: State Grid report, China 2012

China has begun construction on a large-scale ultra-high voltage (UHV) power project, which will help alleviate air pollution problems. The project, estimated to cost 68.3 billion yuan ($11.2 billion), will involve 4,740 km of new power lines as well as several new transformer substations, and will stretch from Inner Mongolia in the northwest to the capital Beijing and down the coast to Shanghai.

What are Gobitech and Asian Super Grid?

The Gobitec concept represents the idea of producing clean energy from renewable energy sources in the Gobi Desert and to deliver the produced energy to regions with a high demand of electric energy.

What are Gobitech and Asian Super Grid?

Gobitech project:

10

It is aimed to interconnect strategic countries in Northeast Asia (NEA) with electricity generation areas in the Gobi Desert.

What are Gobitech and Asian Super Grid?

Asian Super Grid project:

Because of differences in time zone and peak load of the countries, demand and supply can be balanced more easily

ASG will connect 5 capital cities and 9 regional cities with 7735 km of transmission line and submarine HVDC cable

11

What are benefits for the participating countries?

Gobitech+ASG project can deliver economic, social and environmental benefits to the participating countries such as job creation, poverty

alleviation and a reduction of CO2 emission

12

What are benefits for the participating countries?

Mongolia will profit benefits in many ways from the Asian Super Grid & Gobitec economically, socially and environmentally.

13

The way forward and activities

Information on the geographic starting point for possible power generation projects/transmission line in the context of the power trading with the greatest opportunities / identification of the cost effective technology mix. Study on opportunities and risks for a project in the power trading in terms of investment, technical aspects, legal agreements, regulation, tariffs and business climate in the two countries. Provide institutional capacity building through effective training and workshop that targeting institutions, investors in development of the electricity export oriented business in Mongolia for the power trading with China. Developing of policy recommendations based on best practice examples for decision making for the power trading.
