PM orders USD250,000 for Taishir water power station


Prime Minister S.Batbold visited the Taishir water power station on August 8 and then instructed the Ministry for Finance and the Ministry for Minerals and Energy to release US 250,000 so that full generation there may begin in September. The plant will provide power to meet all the needs of Gobi-Altai and Zavkhan provinces.

At present the plant does not work to capacity, and has been supplying power to only Taishir and Jargalan soums since August, 2008. Generation cannot increase as the water level in the Zavkhan River is not high.
The project was begun in 1997 with Kuwaiti assistance. So far, over MNT 90 billion has been spent on it.
