The Buuruljuut Power Plant (Mongolian: Бөөрөлжүүтийн цахилгаан станц) is a coal-fired power station in Bayanjargalan District, Töv Province, Mongolia.
History
Feasibility study to construct the power plant was carried out in 2016–2020. Construction then started in 2022.[1] The first unit of the power plant was commissioned on 5 October 2024 with an installed capacity of 150 MW.[2] On 17 November 2024, a fire broke out on one of its coal conveyor.[3] In December 2024, the power plant was connected to the national grid of the country.
The second unit was commissioned in October 2025, bringing the total installed generation capacity of the plant to 300 MW. It is expected to produce 2.4 billion kWh of electricity annually.[4][5][6]
Technical specifications
The power plant is a coal-fired plant which will have a full installed capacity of 600 MW from four generation units. Each generation unit is 150 MW.[5]
Finance
The power plant is constructed with a cost of MNT300 billion.[5] It is developed and owned by Tsetsens Mining and Energy.[7]
