Mongolia invites EPC contractors to bid for 10-MW solar project

Mongolia’s Ministry of Energy is seeking to award an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a 10-MW solar project in Govi-Altai province.

The government has opened an invitation to bids under which eligible parties will be able to participate by December 11, 2020. An official document was published last week by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which is providing financial support for the initiative as part of its Upscaling Renewable Energy Sector Project.

The solar farm will be installed in Altai, the capital of the Govi-Altai province in the western part of the country.

Under its green development policy, approved in 2014, Mongolia aims to raise the renewables share in its total installed capacity to 20% by 2023 and 30% to 2030 from 12% where it stood in 2018. Earlier this year, it launched a tender for EPC contractors for the 5-MW Uliastai solar park in the city with the same name. The capacity, to be coupled with battery storage, will also be installed with ADB’s financial support.
