Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation (SESJ), part of Sharp Corp, has completed the construction of its 16.4MW solar project located in Khushight Khundii, Tuv Province, Mongolia.
The solar park is expected to generate up to 23,134 MWh of electricity per year, which powers Ulaanbaatar city and a new national airport that is scheduled to complete this year. It is enough to offset the equivalent of 18,438 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The company worked on the photovoltaic (PV) project together with Thailand's Sermsang Power Corp and other partners through Tenuun Gerel Construction LLC. The scheme was supported by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment through a financial credit programme
Asian Development Bank and associated entities provided US$18.7 million in funding to the project, linked to a nearby substation via a transmission line.
