Background

The first six units of the power station have capacities of 80 to 110 MW each, and were built between 1981 and 1989. The units supply 70 percent of the power and 60 percent of the heat for Ulaanbaatar. Germany’s KfW funded the refurbishment of four of the power station's six Russian-made turbines.[1][2]

In 2015 a new 125 MW unit was added with a $40 million loan from Japan’s Bank for International Cooperation.[3][4][5]

Expansion

The foundation for a new 210 MW addition began on June 14, 2012,[6] but was never completed.
