The "Coal to Solar (C2S)" project, funded by a USD 2.5 million grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will be managed by the Project Management Unit of Ulaanbaatar City.
The Coal to Solar (C2S) project, funded by the ADB, is scheduled to commence implementation in the third quarter of 2026. The project aims to address heating and energy challenges for households in selected ger areas of the capital city through solar PV-based renewable energy solutions, feed surplus electricity into the central grid, and ultimately introduce participating households to the carbon credit market.
The project’s activities will be executed under the responsibility of the Project Management Unit of Ulaanbaatar City. On June 3, 2026, the project unit team met with representatives from the ADB, the project sponsor, to discuss planned activities.
The meeting was attended by Atsumasa Sakai, Senior Energy Specialist at the ADB; Victoria Maria Regina, Senior Project Operations Specialist; Gloria P. Gerilla-Teknomo, Principal Transport Specialist; and relevant officials from the project implementation unit.
