Background
The 36 MW Dornod plant was commissioned in 1982.[1] In 2015 the MoE planned refurbishment for the 36-MW CHP plant to maintain output.[2]
Description of Expansion
The Ministry of Energy has announced plans to expand the plant by 100 MW.[3]
In 2013 the government of Mongolia's Energy Ministry "received a financial contribution from the KfW development bank" towards what was described as the "Energy Efficiency Program II". As a part of the project tenders were called for the "preparation of a feasibility study for the rehabilitation" of the Choibalsan power station.[4]
A May 2014 brochure for the Energy Mongolia International Conference & Expo refers to a 100 MW expansion of the Dornod power plant as one project in which international investment is being sought.[5]
The Economic Recovery Program of Mongolia (2016-2020) includes plans for the plant to be expanded by 50 MW.[6] It is planned for commissioning in 2021.[7]
