President requests to reduce electricity price

President Ts.Elbegdorj has exchanged views on fume and air pollution of Ulaanbaatar with members of the Government, Parliament and capital city managing officials. He said “The prior work to decrease poisonous fume above Ulaanbaatar is to reduce electricity price. Ger districts would warm with electric sources rather than raw coal if electricity price is reduced. That is why energy and electricity structure should be innovated and expanded. According to the preliminary calculation, MNT100 billion is needed” said the President. Fume is has turned into a disaster for public health. Electricity costs MNT78 per kilowatt during day times and MNT40 at nights. Thus he urged the officials to study for ways to reduce tariffs.
