From the literature survey, it is observed that for the study area of Mongolia, only a handful of studies have been conducted in the field of techno-economic wind and solar potential using GIS. A notable study was performed in 2001 by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) .
This brief summarizes the 2024 solar and wind power policy landscape in Mongolia, which possesses significant wind and solar energy resources, but requires more development and investment to help the country meet its renewable energy potential.

Abstract Even though the country's geographic and climatic characteristics are favourable for renewable energy technology, Mongolia's power infrastructure has a large carbon footprint. Therefore, it is crucial to determine Mongolia's economic potential for solar and wind energy.
Two major cities nearby Ulaanbataar, Erdenet and Darkhan, which are also connected to one of the five grid systems in Mongolia named the Central Energy System (CES), could provide an additional 59.5 GWh and 24.1 GWh, respectively. Erdenet has a potential of installing 35 MW and Darkhan 14 MW of rooftop PV.
This will be one of Mongolia''s largest renewable energy procurements and the country''s first solar and BESS auction. The project is designed to enhance grid reliability, reduce dependence
