A tender is open in Mongolia for the development of 110 MW of solar tied to 52 MW/188 MWh of battery energy storage across five different sites. The deadline for expressions of interest is August 16.
Mongolia’s Ministry of Energy has kicked off a tender for five solar-plus-storage projects.
The independent power producer (IPP) projects are set to have a combined solar capacity of 110 MW connected to 52 MW/188 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The invite to tender splits the procurement exercise into five sites, three of which are located in Mongolia’s western region, with the remaining two situated in the country’s eastern region.
The government has identified and secured land for each auction site. The first site will encompass 10 MW of solar alongside a 10 MW/20 MWh BESS in the Bayankhongor province, while the second covers a 20 MW solar plus 10 MW/40 MWh BESS in the Bayan-Ulgii province, both to be built on 60 hectares of land. The third site encompasses a 40 MW solar plus 20 MW/80 MWh project in the Uvs province to be developed on 100 hectares of land.
