  • Hydropower today provides about 20 % of the world's electricity and is the main energy source for more than 30 countries.
  • Hydropower facilities can quickly go from zero power to maximum output, making them ideal for meeting sudden changes in demand for electricity.
  • Hydropower can also be used for water supply, flood control, irrigation and even recreation purposes.
  • The financial status of the hydroelectric industry is generally healthy due to long equipment life and low maintenance and operating costs.
  • Egiin Goliin hydropower plant is estimated to cover the investment in 20-25 years of time with its sales income.
  • Thermal power plants in UB city burns 3.5 million tons of raw coal, pollutes the air with 4 tons of coal, 4.5 million cubic meters of gas and 6kg emissions of sulfur gas.
  • The Eg river is Mongolia's third largest river, and at the proposed dam site has a catchment area of about 40,000 km².
  • Due to Mongolian country characteristics and situation, the value of 315 MW installed capacity has been selected.
  • There are 21 types of fish at the Eg river.
  • The new bridge that will be built across River Selenge will be a steel concrete bridge.
  • Turbines and generators are expected to be replaced after 32 years of operation.
  • Peak demand of the Mongolian energy system reached 948 MW, exceeding both installed and feasible generation capacity and the reason for increased imports of electricity
  • Electricity is imported from Russia to the Central Region Integrated System via Selendum sub-station Russia and Darkhan sub-station Mongolia.

  • HISTORICAL AND CULTURALY-ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES
  • PREVIOUS STUDIES

  • The national and international joint research was conducted in Valley of Eg River between 1991 to 2002 and protected and rescued 139 historical findings. There was informed by the professional organizations to protect remained memories.

  • UPDATED FIELD INVESTIGATION

  • Due to the location of previously discovered findings are not clear and values are different, new investigation was needed. The joint research team of the Archaeological institute of Academy of Science, Archaeology- anthropological faculty of Ulaanbaatar University, Archaeology-ethnology expedition at the Science Technological university conducted archaeological investigation and study in reservoir area and along the corridor of access road and power transmission line in accordance with clause 27.8 of the Law on Cultural heritage Protection. There are 416 memories (up to 910 m a.s.l) in reservoir area, 24 memories along access road and transmission line were registered and documented in result of this investigation and study.
