Abstract
The purpose of this Activity Completion
Report is to sumarize the results of support from ESMAP to
Mongolia in the rehabilitation of its electricity and
district heating systems during the period 1994 to 1998.
ESMAP ascertained the level and sources of losses in the
electricity and district heating distribution systems in
Ulaanbaatar; and propose a set of actions and investments to
lower these losses to economic levels. ESMAP's research
resulted in three main conclusions: 1) in the power
distribution system in Ulaanbaatar, overall energy losses on
the transmission and distribution (TD) system are following
an upward trend, increasing from about 27 percent of the net
energy supplied in 1995 to 30 percent in 2000. of these
losses, about 14 percent are estimated to be technical
losses and 16 percent are estimated to be non-technical
losses. The major problems are occurring in the low-voltage
system, as opposed to the mid-voltage system. the current
cstomer relations setup and sales function must be changed
for the company forto act on a commercial basis and for
future privatization. 2) Water loss constitutes the major
problem in the district heating system, with leakage rates
well beyond internationally accepted standards. The heat
loss resulting from transmission and radiation is not as
serious as the water leakage. 3) This report indicates that
integrating the analyses of the heat and electricity sectors
would achieve higher returns.
