AKIPRESS.COM - First Deputy Governor of Ulaanbaatar Manduul Nyamandeleg and Accredited Representative of Envision Energy LLC Zhibin Chen signed an agreement for the construction of a battery storage power station in Baganuur district of Ulaanbaatar on September 6, Montsame reports.

An international open tender for the construction of a battery storage power station in Baganuur district of Ulaanbaatar was announced on June 26 to prepare for the winter of 2024-2025, prevent electricity and heating shortages, and ensure uninterrupted power supply to consumers. Envision Energy LLC was selected as a contractor.

The battery storage power station will be built on a 5 hectare area in the 1st subdistrict of Baganuur district, northwest of the Baganuur substation. The station will have a capacity of 50 MW, an energy storage capacity of 200 MWh, and an electrical frequency of 50 Hz with three phases and will be connected to the 220/110/35 kV Baganuur substation. 

Once operational, the battery storage power station will play a key role in regulating the frequency of the central region's energy system, alleviating peak winter load stress, and addressing capacity deficits. Additionally, the station will restore the system when the system needs it, while the battery storage power station reduces greenhouse gas emissions as the station relies on renewable energy sources.
