TLEIKHAN.A WHO IS HEAD OF THE ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION AND REGULATOR TUVSHINCHULUUN.E
WORKED AT LICENSED COMPANIES
Tleikhan.A who is Head of the Energy Regulatory Commission and Regulator Tuvshinchuluun.E who is the Head of the relevant division had visited at "Salkhit" wind power plant and Nalaikh thermal power plant.
Clean Energy LLC is planning to build a solar power plant for cheaper electricity
The Salkhit wind power plant of Clean Energy LLC is the first Mongolian large capacity renewable power source and connected to electric power transmission network. 50 MW capacity Salkhit wind power plant has 31 wind turbine generators and produces 169.6 million kWh each year.
Although the plant’s tariff is higher than a coal-fired thermal power station, it prevents to producing 180 thousand tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and saves 1.6 million tons of fresh water and 122 thousand tons of coal each year as survey. Salkhit wind power plant produces electricity during the day and night, depending on the nature of wind power, but mostly is being curtailed at night and this reaches 10% in some months. This has a negative impact on the plant financial and economic conditions. Therefore, proposed to keep this curtailment in 3%. Sukhbaatar,Ts who is CEO of Clean Energy LLC said that processing a technical end economic feasibility to build 24MW solar power plant to operate with wind power plant. After solar power plant operation, it is possible to produce and delivery electricity cheaper than tariffs which are pointed in Renewable Energy Law.
Tleikhan.A who is Head of the Energy Regulatory Commission has said: A clear example of attracting investment into Mongolian energy sector and construction is the Salkhit wind power plant of the Clean Energy LLC. The Energy Regulatory Commission is expected to work regionally in 2017 in the energy sector. So the Energy Regulatory Commission is wishing Clean Energy LLC to work together with others to sharing good experiences. Clean Energy LLC need to meet with relative Department of Energy Regulatory Commission and National Dispatching Center to make decision to keep curtailment in constant value. Nowadays all world is encouraging Renewable Energy, we will also encourage Renewable Energy accordance with applicable law.
Nalaikh thermal plant is in financial difficult times
The Nalaikh thermal plant operates with 3 licenses for power generation, distribution and heat supply. Nalaikh thermal plant supplies 29 budgetary organizations, 256 companies and a totally 2265 households of Nalaikh District by domestic hot water and thermal energy. The plant has operated with loss more than 100 million MNT in 2016 and total accumulated debt has grown, needed maintenance and renovation works are incomplete.
Nalaikh thermal power plant produces thermal energy by 36,200 MNT. But sells thermal energy to costumers by 23,500 MNT and Nalaikh thermal power plant is working with 12,700 MNT losses for per unit. Additionally, problems increasing transport cost to rail way and payment to coal mine because of firing coal from the Shivee-Ovoo mine are informed to Management of the Energy Regulatory Commission. Minjinkhuu.Ts who is CEO of the Nalaikh thermal power said that from above problems, it is getting difficult to supply residences of Nalaikh district by thermal energy. Therefore, need to build other supplying source for supply increasing consumption is introduced.
During this meeting, Tuvshinchuluun.E who is regulator of Energy Regulatory Commission said that majority percentage of payment is for coal mine. Information from an unaccredited source, mines 60 thousand tons of coal from more than 200 mouth of Mountain in every year. Therefore, company’s managers should seek to fire coal from Nalaikh mines.
Tleikhan.A who is Head of the Energy Regulatory Commission said that in this economic and financial difficult time, managers of company should improve their management. To build new source is next problem, before this should pay attention in maintenance and renew technologies, stable state for supply residences of Nalaikh district by thermal energy. In frame of reserve capability, we will encourage you based on your calculation. “Our final goal is stable and constantly supply consumer by energy” is reminded.
