EuroChamber Mongolia is proud to share a significant development demonstrating the impact of our Sustainability & Energy Working Group and its continued engagement with the Government of Mongolia.
In July 2026, EuroChamber Mongolia submitted a comprehensive recommendation paper to the Government of Mongolia, developed to address some of the key structural and regulatory challenges facing businesses in Mongolia’s energy sector. The paper put forward concrete recommendations to strengthen private-sector participation, improve the Public-Private Partnership framework, reduce administrative barriers, and create the conditions necessary for greater long-term energy independence.
We are pleased to announce that the Office of Government Affairs has informed EuroChamber Mongolia that the paper was thoroughly reviewed by the Prime Minister. Following the review, the recommendations were forwarded to the Minister of Energy and the Minister of Economy and Development, with instructions to review the relevant legislation and take action to improve the operating environment for the private sector.
From Recommendations to Concrete Government Measures
The Government’s response goes beyond acknowledging the concerns raised by the business community.
Government Resolution No. 310, subsequently adopted, contains measures that directly address several of the recommendations raised by EuroChamber Mongolia.
Among these measures, the Government has called for:
⚡ Improved renewable energy contracting mechanisms
Regulations governing electricity supply to distribution networks and electricity sales and purchase agreements are to be improved, alongside measures to mitigate potential foreign-exchange risks associated with Mongolia’s “single buyer” model.
🌱 Faster and more predictable project approvals
The Government has instructed relevant authorities to expedite procedures necessary for renewable energy projects, including environmental impact assessments, licensing, issuance of technical conditions, design reviews, and connection to the electricity distribution network.
The Government’s review of our recommendations and the subsequent measures reflected in Resolution No. 310 represent an important step in demonstrating that constructive private-sector advocacy can translate into concrete policy action.
EuroChamber Mongolia will continue to work with the Government, our members and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the business community’s concerns remain at the center of Mongolia’s energy-sector reform agenda.
Our objective is clear: a more predictable, competitive and investment-friendly energy sector - one where the private sector can invest with greater confidence, businesses can operate with fewer administrative barriers, and Mongolia can move closer to long-term energy independence.
