The Asian Development Bank and the Government of Mongolia signed a $2 million grant to increase efficient and renewable energy heating systems in remote areas in Mongolia.
ADB and the Government of Mongolia inaugurated a grid-connected renewable hybrid energy system in Zavkhan province. The system includes a 5 megawatt solar photovoltaic and 3.6 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS).
“The Uliastai subproject builds the very first utility and mega-scale battery system in the country combined with grid-connected renewable energy,” said ADB Principal Energy Specialist for East Asia Shannon Cowlin.
