Background The Government of Mongolia has identified priority investments in the transmission grid. The Ministry of Energy has requested the World Bank finance a core transmission line in Central Energy System (CES). The proposed project aims to strengthen the grid by reinforcing interconnections with remote areas where the existing grid capacity is not sufficient and thereby contributes not only to providing a reliable and stable power supply to target areas but also to enable further variable renewable energy (VRE) integration to the grid. As a result, the project will help meet the rising electricity demand with clean renewable power resources in the country. Therefore, the project will not only help Mongolia achieve its economic recovery goal and long-term sustainable development objective but also contribute to the global climate change agenda by reducing GHG emission. The project will consist of two components: 1) Transmission line construction and associated substations expansion: new construction of a 188 km 220 kV double circuit Baganuur-Choir electricity transmission line and expansion of two associated substations in Baganuur district and Choir. The line passes through Bayan, Arkhust, and Bayandelger soums of Tuv, Tsagaandelger soum of Dundgovi, and Bayantal and Choir soums of Govisumber aimags (provinces) and Baganuur district of Ulaanbaatar city of Mongolia. The details of the transmission line are indicated in the table below and Figure 1 (see Table 1 below); 2) The capacity building and implementation support, which will finance a technical study to enhance capability on power system planning and deploying smart grid technologies, long-term transmission planning focusing on determining options to improve grid flexibility and increase the integration of variable renewable energy; and forecasting analytics for power systems with high penetrations of VRE. Proposed Activities for the Overall Project The Consulting Firm shall prepare both GEIA and DEIA report in compliance with all relevant Mongolian requirements as stipulated in the Law on Environmental Impact Assessment and ESIA in compliance with the World Bank-s ESF covering all aspects of the Baganuur - Choir 220kV transmission project.
