Toshiba Secures Orders for Mongolian Renewable Energy Grid Upgrade
What happened
Toshiba secured orders and began manufacturing energy management and high-power battery storage systems for a power supply improvement project in Mongolia. This project is funded by a Japanese government grant. The equipment is scheduled to begin operating at the Darkhan substation in December 2027.

Why it matters
The project aims to establish a model for stable urban electricity supplies with a higher share of renewable energy. The system integrates solar power, battery storage, and conventional thermal power into a microgrid. This infrastructure upgrade supports electricity supply to Darkhan, Erdenet, and Ulaanbaatar.
