 A hydroelectric power plant
built n the western Mongolia began operating on Monday.
Located on the Chonokharaikh
River in Dorgon soum of Khovd aimag, the power plant will produce electricity
for those living within western Mongolia.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony,
Mongolian President N.Enkhbayar said, ''Our ancestors used to compare
water with chintamini (the wishing jewel). When I was Prime Minister,
I attended a foundation stone laying ceremony for this station and participated
in finding a solution for the station’s expenses. Thanks to the station's
operation, the western region will create a sustainable development
step, the movement of rural citizens to settlement areas will be reduced,
and the number of domestic and foreign tourists will increase due to
this construction."
Other officials noted that
future power plant construction will be aided by what was learned while
building the Chonokharaikh River power plant.
