In Brief

By Order No. A/217 of the Minister of Energy of Mongolia dated on 9 September 2025, the revised “Regulation on the Selection of Projects for Constructing Renewable Energy Generation Facilities” has been approved as Annex 1 to the Order. The revised regulation sets out the procedures for publicly announcing, evaluating, and selecting renewable energy generation projects, as well as the framework governing contractual arrangements with selected projects developers. 

Under the previous 2020 regulation, all types of renewable energy sources with a capacity of more than 1 MW were eligible. However, the 2025 revision narrows this scope and now permits only solar and wind projects connected to a voltage of 6 kV or higher. Several other notable changes have been introduced, which are summarized in the following table.
