A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM project
Installation of 12.7 MW Solar Power Plant for Power Supply In Ulaanbaatar Suburb
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
Solar power plant is installed by the proposed project in Songinokhairkhan district located on
the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. The project site is in northwest 37km from Ulaanbaatar city
center. The purpose of this project is to reduce CO2 emissions, mitigate air pollution andstabilize power supply in Mongolia. The solar power plant of the proposed project is connectedto the national grid. This solar power plant can replace some parts of power generation from coal
fired power plants of the national grid by renewable energy.
At the validation, 2.3MW solar PV modules were planned to install. After the validation, thisproject started operation in August 2017 with 2.3MW and in November with 12.7MW finallyA.3. Location of project, including coordinates

A.6. Contribution from Japan
The proposed project was partially supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan(MOEJ) through the Financing Program for JCM Model projects, which provided financial
support of less than half of the initial investment for the projects in order to acquire JCM credits.
Japanese engineers support the development of telemeter system such as automatic record of
the monitoring data, as the core of MRV activities of JCM.

D. Environmental impact assessment
Legal requirement of environmental impact assessment for Yes
the proposed project

The project is subject to anenvironmental impacts assessmentof Mongolia according to nationalregulations.

The

environmental

impact assessment was carried outin 2015.
Evaluation result of environmental
impact assessment report was issued
by Ministry of Environment, GreenDevelopment

andTourismofMongolia on 17 Nov. 2015.
Project was found to be executable.

E. Local stakeholder consultation
