Solar and wind power in Mongolia: 2024 policy overview
Mongolia has a target of 30% renewable energy capacity by 2030, reflecting the country''s commitment to transitioning to a low-carbon, green economy as outlined in the Vision 2050
The technological and financial potential of solar and wind energy in Mongolia is determined in a two-step approach while considering the geographical feasibility.
Technical potential capacity map – ground-mounted PV. The total technical potential capacity in Mongolia amounts to about 5.12 TW. Given the solar irradiation, 5.12 TW could generate 9.568 PWh of electricity per year.
The technical potential of rooftop PV is 1.11 GW which could generate about 1919 GWh, which is about 240 GWh more than the total electricity imports into Mongolia in 2018 . This amount of electricity could also replace four large Mongolian coal-power plants (referred to as CHPP-3, EFCHPP, DCHPP, DorCHPP by ERC ).
From the literature survey, it is observed that for the study area of Mongolia, only a handful of studies have been conducted in the field of techno-economic wind and solar potential using GIS. A notable study was performed in 2001 by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) .
