The Government has decided to build the 5th power station near the 3rd. The construction will cost MNT1 billion and will be finished in 2020. The plant will have capacity to produce 820 megawatt of electricity using the latest technology.

Two small factories, to produce cement and to process coal waste, will be built as part of the project. The tender to choose the construction company would be announced this year.

Meanwhile, the foundation stone of a thermal power station in Baruun-Urt in Sukhbaatar province has been laid. The station will be built with USD5 million in a South Korean grant. Construction is expected to take a year.
