Chinese enterprises sign agreement to build a waste incineration power plant in Mongolia
Mongolnews, Ulaanbaatar, October 27th - According to the Public-Private Partnership Law, a public-private partnership agreement for the construction of a waste incineration power plant in Mongolia was signed on October 24th.
The agreement was signed by H. Nymbat, the head of the capital's administration and mayor of Ulaanbaatar, the chairman of Renshou Chuanneng Environmental Energy Co., Ltd. (Sichuan), and Tang Yuewu, the project manager and director of the Ulaanbaatar waste incineration plant.
The plant can incinerate 1,500 tons of garbage per day, with an estimated cost of 206.5 million US dollars, a construction period of 30 months, and will be transferred to the government after 28 years.
The plant is planned to operate for 8,000 hours per year, generating 35 megawatts of electricity. The electricity generated from incinerating garbage will be priced at about 14 cents per kilowatt-hour, with 8.4 cents sold to the Ministry of Energy, and the remaining 5.6 cents difference will be compensated by charging waste disposal fees to enterprises that produce large amounts of waste, and then delivered to the investors.
The incineration plant will not only handle household waste in the capital area, but also provide free waste treatment for the cities of Tsonmod in the Central Province, Xiongnu New City, Altanbulag, and Seleng County. At the same time, it is planned to excavate and incinerate old garbage buried in the Ulanchult and Chagan Davaan landfills over the next 10 years, in order to purify the ecological environment.
Therefore, Mayor H. Nymbat emphasized the importance of this project for the country's ecological environment and stated, "In order to build Ulaanbaatar into a modern city, it is necessary to establish a unified engineering infrastructure management unit. Its goal is to achieve self-financing through service fees paid by users, and to compensate for investment costs with income. The characteristics of this project lie in the fact that it is fully invested by the private sector. In addition, the Mongolian government has provided national guarantees for the first time for public-private partnership projects. In recent years, the concept of 'urban mining' has been widely spread in cities around the world. Its core is to re-excavate past buried garbage, generate energy through incineration, and at the same time achieve ecological restoration."
Currently, the capital area generates an average of about 1,500 tons of domestic and industrial waste per day, most of which is mainly buried in two waste treatment sites near the city center.
