Background

In September 2024, Erdenes Bayanbogd LLC proposed mining the Western Sea lignite deposit and using the coal for a 300 MW power station.[3] A tender for a feasibility study for the proposed power station was launched in October 2024[4] and awarded to Energy Development LLC in December 2024.[5]

As of December 2024, investors were reportedly “expressing interest” in the proposed power station.[6]

In April 2025, Erdenes Bayanbogd launched a tender for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports for mine and power plant development.[7] The tender for the EIA was awarded in May 2025 to S&C.[8]
