ADB commissions off-grid renewable hybrid energy in Mongolia

The system is expected to supply 1,500 local residents amongst others. 

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has commissioned a new off-grid renewable hybrid energy system in Mongolia. 

The project is expected to provide power in Altai Soum, which is 400 kilometres away from Altai-Uliastai energy system. 

“This new hybrid energy system will supply over 1,500 local residents, 350 households, and 25 organizations in one of Mongolia’s most isolated soums with high-quality renewable energy using inexhaustible solar energy,” Deputy Minister of Energy M. Bayarmagnai said. 

“This project is an example of how the government is working to provide the most essential services by bringing innovative technologies to the benefit of the people.”

Under the Upscaling Renewable Energy Sector Project, the ADB plans to support 41 megawatts of distributed renewable energy systems.

The ADB noted these will use a range of renewable energy technologies to supply clean electricity and heat in the less-developed region of western Mongolia. 

These includes off-grid  solar power plants, such as battery management system, and energy management system. 

“The new hybrid system is a demonstration of the government’s commitment to shift to use of more modern and cleaner technologies in the country,” ADB Principal Energy Specialist Shannon Cowlin said. 

“Not only will the system provide secure power supply to the people, it will do so without contributing to localized air pollution, which can affect even isolated regions of Mongolia during winter months.”

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
