Construction is underway on a new 300MW combined heat and power plant in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, intended to meet the city’s growing energy demands and improve reliability. As part of the project, 102,975 cubic meters of accumulated coal ash – dating back 65 years – has been removed from the site of the former Power Station 2. Foundation work for concrete mixing facilities is complete, and 25 of 26 designated areas have been cleared. Engineering and geological surveys have also been finalized, and orders have been placed for key equipment including boilers, turbines, and generators. The project is a 27-year public-private partnership, with 2.5 years allocated for construction and 25 years for operation, and is slated for completion in 2028. The scope includes building the plant, infrastructure, control systems, and associated facilities.
