  • Start up minutes of hydro power plant is 2-5 minutes in contrast to Thermal power plant 2-4 hours.
  • Central energy system’s daily load during the winter is 776-800 MW.
  • The EGHPP generated energy will be connected to the CES via 2 circuits double conductors with capacity of 220 kV.
  • The main criteria for meeting the environmental objective are avoided of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the specific carbon offset of the project is determined in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions avoided per GWh over the lifetime of the project and thus EGHPP reduces 709 thousand ton of CO2 annually.
  • By 2022，EGHPP is to produce 581 million kWh annually at minimum and the annual electricity generation is to vary between 581 to 2662 million kWh.
  • By the April 2014 investigative study discovered 218 artifacts at the hydropower plant DAM SITE (910м), and 24 artifacts at the infrastructure route.
  • 242 artifacts are planned to be excavated and preserved in 2014-2015.
  • 423 species of plants grow at the Egiin Goliin DAM SITE.
  • Hydropower costs less than most energy sources.
  • Renewable Energy creates three-times more jobs than fossil fuels.
  • In 1878 the world's first hydroelectric power scheme was developed at Cragside in Northumberland, England by William George Armstrong.
  • 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.
  • RESETTLEMENT

  • At present time approximately 300 local people of 88 families (bag center and rural areas) of Khantai bag of khutag-Undur soum (Bulgan province) live in the project area and need to organize resettlement of them before implementation of the project.

     

    A Working group was established by the order of Head of Cabinet Secretariat of the Government of Mongolia headed by Governor of Bulgan province Mr. D.Erdenebat involved representatives of Cabinet secretariat, local government and PIU and the Working group collaborates closely with PIU and local authorities.

     

    The relocation of Khantai bag is planned to start in 2016 and preparation works are in progress.

  • SELECTION OF SITE FOR RELOCATION OF KHANTAI BAG CENTER

  • The Engineering, geological and geodesic study have been done at the site (Damirangiin enger) which selected by the people of Khantai bag and in result concluded that the selected site to relocate Khantai bag has no any engineer-geological problem and suitable to make planning for bag center.

     

    Based on the result concluded that the selected site is met all requirement for relocation of bag center the Secretariat of Board country of Bulgan province issued order #19 on 12 February 2015, the Secretariat of Board country of Khutag-Undur soum issued order #21 on 26 March 2015 to relocate Khantai bag to the Damiran site.

     

    We are working to perform a Master plan, a Detailed environmental impact assessment and State land quality verification study that are necessary for the new site before relocation work commence.

  • REGISTRATION AND EVALUATION OF ESTATE

  • The Working group registered and documented the properties of households of Khantai bag center in person and properties of rural households using aerial photographs with high accuracy. The compensation will be done based on this property registration during the resettlement.

  • ESTIMATION OF RESETTLEMENT COSTS AND COMPENSATION

  • The working group that has a responsibility to coordinate relocation of Khantai bag and environmental and land issue made proposal to perform resettlement of Khantai bag by professional organization on 25 June 2014.

     

    A professional organization will make a calculation of cost for resettlement in detail and it will be done after completion of preparation work for new site of bag center.
