Mongolia will receive options
to purchase Chinese energy as Beijing begins plans to spend $35 billion
to upgrade its electrical power grid.
Officially, China plans on
building long-distance, high-capacity transmission lines to connect
its power producing regions with populated areas on its east coast,
as well as more rural areas such as Xinjiang, Qinghai and Tibet.
However, Mongolia will also
be hooked into China’s new power grid if it chooses to purchase additional
electricity from China.
Chinese officials have also
said this winter’s severe weather has resulted in extensive damage
to the country’s power grid. It is estimated that as much as $5.5
billion would be needed to repair winter-related damage to power lines,
generators and other power infrastructure.
