Ulaanbaatar, April 30, 2026 /MONTSAME/. The Government has approved a resolution aimed at reducing dependence on fuel and energy imports.
“This green resolution is a comprehensive solution to safeguard our energy independence,” Prime Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor said during the Cabinet meeting.
To promote green energy development, address shortages in energy supply, reduce load and losses in the centralized grid, and improve the reliability of electricity supply for consumers, the Government has instructed Minister of Energy Naidalaa Badrakh to organize tenders for privately financed battery energy storage projects in Bayangol soum of Orkhon aimag, Arvaikheer soum of Uvurkhangai aimag, Kherlen soum of Khentii aimag, Sainshand soum of Dundgobi aimag, and Sumber soum of Gobisumber aimag. These projects are to be commissioned before December, ahead of the peak winter demand of 2026–2027.
The Prime Minister emphasized that “every green technology, green solution, and green innovation contributes to environmental protection, strengthens energy independence, and offers cost-saving, eco-friendly solutions.”
The implementation of the resolution is expected to increase the share of renewable energy, reduce reliance on energy imports, lower air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, accelerate the adoption of electric transport and related infrastructure, improve access to green financing, and deliver tangible progress toward Mongolia’s long-term green development goals.
According to the Government Media and Public Relations Department, the measures outlined in the resolution will be implemented through public-private partnerships, as well as domestic and international green financing sources and investments.
