In Brief

The Minister of Energy of Mongolia, by Order No. A/116 dated 22 May 2026, has revised and approved the “Regulation on Project Selection for the Construction of Renewable Energy Generation Facilities” (the “2026 Regulation”). In connection with the adoption of this regulation, the “Regulation on Project Selection for the Construction of Renewable Energy Generation Facilities”, approved by Order No. A/217 dated 9 September 2025 (the “2025 Regulation”) has been revoked.

Accordingly, in light of the updated regulatory framework governing the selection of renewable energy power generation construction projects, this legal alert outlines the key changes introduced by the new regulation. Notably, the 2026 Regulation expands the available selection mechanisms by introducing an auction process and broadens the scope of eligible projects to include those incorporating battery storage systems, in addition to solar and wind power projects.
