Chandgana Coal-Fired Power Plant Project 600 MW (4X150 MW)

Chandgana Coal-Fired Power Plant Project 600 MW (4X150 MW)
The Chandgana Coal-Fired Power Plant Project includes building of a 600 MW (4X150 MW) coal
fired mine-mouth power plant. Phase one will be 300 MW (2 x 150MW). The power plant will be
located 7km from highway and 2km from the Chandgana Tal coal deposit (owned by Prophecy
Development Corp.) in Central Mongolia. The power plant license is currently held by Prophecy
Power Generation, a Mongolian subsidiary of Prophecy Development Corp.

The project is expected to deliver a number of measurable benefits to Mongolia:
• Contribute to pollution reduction - Various studies have linked Ulaanbaatar air pollution to
respiratory death and women miscarriages. Chandgana power plant will eliminate the need
of additional power plants in Ulaanbaatar and reduce dependence on power plant #3 and #4,
which emit heavy nitrogen and sulphur harmful participles in excess due to their age.
• Save water, coal transportation and operational cost - Chandgana power plant will be built
next to the Chandgana coal mine, 300 km east of Ulaanbaatar. This will avoid transporting 2
to 4 millions tonnes of coal to congested city (more than 100 wagons per day). Water will be
extracted from the mine and avoids sharing precious water resource (up to 6 million tonnes
1
per year, 16,000 tonnes per day) within city of Ulaanbaatar. Water Scarcity problem will
emerge in 2015 in Ulaanbaatar, and intensify from 2020 onwards. Assuming each UB resident
I consuming 20 liters of water a day, a new power plant will take water away from about
800,000 residents annually.
• Energy independence - Chandgana power plant project will reduce expensive power import
from Russia and China, and achieve Mongolia energy independence. Mongolia is projected to
import over 450 MW from Russia and China before 2018. Prophecy proposed electricity tariff
will be lower than import with exemption from income tax, VAT, customs duty. The power
plant is planned to start supplying power to Mongolian system from 2018.
• Relief on power supply shortage - Chandgana power plant is planned to supply power to
Mongolian system from 2018. Mongolia GDP roughly doubles every 5 years from mining
production. Currently installed capacity is 800MW and demand expects to double by 2020
• Stabilization of transmission grid - Prophecy will finance transmission line from Baganuur to
Chandgana in phase 1, and Chandgana to Choir in phase 2. The new lines will increase the
network stability and security of electricity supply in the Mongolian power grid.
• Good location - Chandgana is 300 km away from Ulaanbaatar, 150 km from Choir (further to
South Gobi) and 120 km from Choibalsan. Therefore, it can potentially provide power to
Ulaanbaatar, South and East.
• Project readiness – Chandgana power plant project is 3 years under development and is
ready for construction with construction license, environmental impact assessment, land use
rights, mining license. Over 10 EPC contractors expressed interest since 2012 and several
binding EPC proposals have been received with competitive price and short construction time
frame (36 months). Construction can start right after Concession Agreement, PPA, Tariff
Agreement and Financial Close.
• Extension to Coal to Gas and Coal to Liquid project – Chandgana is next to highway, has
plenty of land and estimated 3.5 billion tonnes of coal resource in the nearby basin. Once
power project is operational, it is natural progression to develop coal to gas and coal to liquid
projects.
• Private sector investment and boost employment – the development of the project will be
funded by the private sector and will serve to boost foreign direct investments to Mongolia
and Khentii province. Once in operation Chandgana power plant and mine is expected to hire
over 600 full time skilled local staff, become biggest revenue and skill employment generator
in Khentii and doubles Khentii’s GDP from current MNT86 billion to over MNT 160 billion.
