Ulaanbaatar
Eighth National Renewable Energy Forum approaching
Society
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Under the auspices of the Prime Minister of Mongolia, “The 8th National Renewable Energy Forum” is to take place on May 5, 2017. With the policy support of the Ministry of Energy and Energy Regulatory Commission, the forum is being organized by Mongolian Wind Energy Association.
Mongolia has rich resources of renewable energy, especially in solar and wind energy. The organizers noted that the renewable energy sector has to be developed with corresponding plans and policies to the current possibilities and resources. The first Mongolian renewable energy source “Salkhit” wind power plant was built four years ago with the investment of USD 120 million, and is now providing 3-4 percent of the country’s energy consumption. The large investment in the renewable energy sector of Mongolia in 2017 can be ascertained from the 10 MWt solar power plant in Darkhan aimag. Also, the construction works of 10 MWt solar station in the western region zone of Ulaanbaatar city and 50 MWt wind farm in Tsogttsetsii soum of Umnugobi aimag. As a result, the renewable energy generation of Mongolia will be able to reach 120 MWt by the end of 2017.
Although Mongolia has positive indicators to develop renewable energy industry, policy management and professional workforces are lacking in the sector. Therefore, the National Renewable Energy Forum aims to determine policy and planning, as well as to solve current issues in the sector.
The forum will be attended by the Secretary General of World Wind Energy Association Stefan Gsänger, Ambassador of France to Mongolia Elizabeth Barsacq and around 500 domestic guests.
Co-organized by Global Green Growth Institute and World Wind Energy Association, the event will be held at the Corporate Convention Center on May 5, Friday.
