Baganuur power station is a proposed 700-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Baganuur area, Mongolia.
Two other power stations have been proposed at Baganuur, both associated with proposed Coal-to-Liquids projects. These projects are the Baganuur IGCC (POSCO/MCS) and Baganuur IGCC (Petrovis), both of which appear abandoned.

Background
A May 2014 brochure for the Energy Mongolia International Conference & Expo refers to a 700 MW thermal power plant as one project which international investment is being sought.[1]
Bids for a coal-fired Baganuur Power Plant Project were held in 2014; the Government of Mongolia approved the Invest Mongolia Agency to supervise the Build-Operate-Transfer agreement, which was awarded to registered Mongolian company Baganuur Power LLC. The agreement duration is 25 years; four years of construction and 21 years of operation. A construction contract was awarded to China National Nuclear Corporation (China Nuclear Industry 22).[2]
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on December 23, 2015. The project will include two supercritical coal-fired power generating units with capacity of 350 MW each. Total investment is estimated at US$1 billion.[3]
Construction on the chimney foundation and the factory front area began in 2017.[4] Bidding on plant parts and construction was ongoing in 2018.[5]
The power station was planned for commissioning in 2019,[6] but a 2018 government report estimates commissioning in 2021.[7]
