Mogul Power will own the 600MW project, for which the estimated investment is $1bn.

The project has received necessary construction and environmental approvals from Mongolian Energy Regulatory Commission and Ministry of Environment.

"This project underpins the importance of the recent discussions for more energy cooperation, during the recent APEC meetings in Beijing and also recently addressed between the top leaders of both countries "

Feasibility study for the project was approved by the Mongolian Ministry of Energy in 2013, which was conducted by Burns and Roe Enterprises.

Firebird principal James Passin said: "I am excited to advance this important energy project in Mongolia following the passage of the Investment Law in October 2013."

SEPOCOIII vice president Zhang Hongsong said: "This project underpins the importance of the recent discussions for more energy cooperation – during the recent APEC meetings in Beijing and also recently addressed between the top leaders of both countries."

Mongolia ambassador to China Sukhbaatar Tsedenjav said: "The government of Mongolia supports this project which is the first mine-mouth IPP in the history of our country and one of the first to pave the way for further cooperation between our two great countries."
