Kh.Nyambaatar, Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, announced that the city will begin gradually transitioning households in residential areas to gas or electric heating.
To qualify for the program, households must commit to reducing heat loss, stop using solid or improved fuels, and switch to gas or electricity for heating.
In the first phase, 10,000 households will transition to electric heaters and 20,000 to gas heaters before the upcoming heating season. Since many citizens are not yet familiar with gas heating, they will have the option to choose electric heaters instead. However, reducing heat loss is a necessary first step.
Several types of gas and electric heaters have been tested, with options available for houses up to 50 square meters or larger.
To ease the financial burden on consumers, “Tavan Tolgoi Fuel” LLC will offer discounted prices to households under this program. The city administration also plans to decrease improved fuel production for 30,000 households, with an estimated monthly savings of up to MNT 100,000 for those switching to gas or electric heating.
Additionally, nighttime electricity tariff discounts and further price reductions on gas and electric heaters will be introduced to make the transition more affordable.
Professional organizations will provide safety guidelines and usage instructions to participating households. By making the switch, residents can eliminate the need for chimneys and contribute to reducing air pollution.
