A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM projectIntroduction of 15MW Solar Power System near New Airport
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The Project involves installation of a large-scale solar power plant with the generating capacityof 15MW in Khushing Khundii, near New Ulaanbaatar International Airport. The project is
implemented by Tenuun Gerel Construction LLC, a company incorporated in Mongolia. Thepower plant utilizes the crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules of Sharp Corporation ofJapan (ND-AF320).
The electricity produced by the project is supplied to the Central Energy System of Mongolia
displacing electricity generation by fossil-fuel based power plants, contributing to greenhousegas emissions reduction in Mongolia.
