To prepare for the winter of 2024-2025, prevent electricity and heating shortages, and ensure uninterrupted power supply to consumers, an international open tender for the construction of a battery storage power station in Baganuur district, Ulaanbaatar, was announced on June 26, 2024. As a result, “Envision Energy” LLC was selected as a contractor.
During the signing ceremony, Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, Nyambaatar Khishgee remarked “For the first time, Ulaanbaatar City successfully issued bonds worth MNT 500 billion on the domestic capital market, with MNT 300 billion of the raised invested in the Buuruljuut Power Plant. Consequently, the first block of the Buuruljuut Power Plant, with a capacity of 150 MW, will be operational next month. With today’s agreement with “Envision Energy” LLC, the Battery Storage Power Station, with a capacity of 50 MW, is planned to be commissioned on November 30, 2024. The commissioning of the first block of the Buuruljuut Power Plant and the Battery Storage Power Station will significantly mitigate the current energy shortages of Ulaanbaatar.”
The Battery Storage Power Station will be built on a 5-hectare area in the 1st subdistrict of Baganuur district, northwest of the Baganuur Substation. The Battery Storage Station will have a capacity of 50 MW, an energy storage capacity of 200 MWh, and an electrical frequency of 50 Hz with three phases and will be connected to the 220/110/35 kV Baganuur Substation.
Once operational, the Battery Storage Power Station will play a key role in regulating the frequency of the central region’s energy system, alleviating peak winter load stress, and addressing capacity deficits. Additionally, the station will restore the system when the system needs it, while the Battery Storage Power Station reduces greenhouse gas emissions as the station relies on renewable energy sources.
