The goal is to develop a district center that is resilient to climate change, has low carbon emissions, and attracts human interest. To achieve this, the following three activities will be implemented:
- Improving the infrastructure and services of the regional center to be resilient to climate change and low-carbon:
- Comprehensive improvement of the urban infrastructure to be resilient to climate change and low-carbon. This includes increasing the water supply capacity by 400 cubic meters per hour (m³/hr); building two reservoirs with a capacity of 2000 cubic meters (m³); installing 12 kilometers (km) of water pipelines; improving the wastewater treatment facility and increasing the capacity for low-carbon treatment technology to 10,200 m³/day; expanding the sewage pipeline by 21.1 km; increasing the pump capacity to 650 m³/hr; extending the city’s heating network by 9.2 km; building 7 heating substations with a capacity of up to 5 GJ; increasing the capacity of the electricity substation and expanding the electricity lines by 68.0 km; extending the fiber-optic network in the city center by 15.5 km; expanding the road network by 9.1 km; expanding the stormwater drainage system by 14.0 km; expanding the flood protection system by 15.4 km; and performing the initial cleanup of the waste disposal site covering 484 hectares (ha).
- Renovating 5.4 km of roads in the ger district, along with public utility networks; constructing 420 affordable, well-insulated, low-carbon apartments; a 5.9 ha public area; 1.1 ha of public service buildings; and installing 400 low-carbon streetlights.
- Developing the infrastructure and services of an agricultural park for investment in a climate-resilient livestock production value chain:
- Constructing 2.0 km of roads, installing 7.1 km of water pipelines, increasing the wastewater treatment capacity with low-carbon technology by 750 m³/hr, installing 5.1 km of sewage pipelines, building two heating stations and one heating substation, each with a capacity of 1-2 GJ/hr, expanding the heating network by 4.1 km, increasing the capacity of the electricity substation and extending the electricity lines by 2.5 km, extending the fiber-optic network by 12.9 km, and constructing three business incubator centers and training centers.
- Installing 4,670 m² of solar panels with a total capacity of 1.35 megawatts (MW).
Improving the infrastructure and services of the Soum center to be low-carbon and resilient to climate change. The activities to be implemented are detailed as follows:
- Comprehensive improvement of the urban infrastructure to be resilient to climate change and low-carbon. This includes:
- Increasing the water supply capacity by 50 m³/hour and installing 5.4 km of water pipelines;
- Upgrading the wastewater treatment plant and increasing the low-carbon treatment capacity to 200 m³/hour;
- Expanding the sewage pipeline by 3.3 km;
- Extending the heating network by 0.8 km (Deluun Sum);
- Upgrading the electricity substation and increasing its capacity, while extending the electricity lines by 20 km;
- Expanding the inter-village fiber optic cable network by 158 km;
- Conducting the initial cleanup of the waste disposal site, covering 100 hectares.
- Developing the infrastructure and services of an agricultural park for investment in a low-carbon livestock production value chain:
- Installing 1.1 km of water pipelines;
- Increasing the wastewater treatment capacity with low-carbon technology by 100 m³/hour;
- Installing 1.0 km of sewage pipelines;
- Expanding the heating network by 1.1 km;
- Constructing two energy-efficient, low-carbon heating stations, each with a capacity of 3 GJ;
- Upgrading the electricity substation and increasing its capacity by adding 1.3 km of electricity lines;
- Expanding the fiber optic network by 5.0 km;
- Constructing two business incubator centers and two training centers.
- Expanding socio-economic services in the district center:
- Renovating two dormitories with a capacity of 450 beds;
- Constructing two community centers;
- Building two sports complexes;
- Renovating existing facilities.
- Constructing a 35.4 km road connecting Omnogovi and Tarialan villages.
- Installing 1,740 m² of solar panels with a total capacity of 0.51 megawatts (MW).
Establishing a Land Relations, Information, and Research Complex Center: The activities to be implemented in detail include:
- Improving the technical and software systems of the information center (including adjusting the parameters of the “Century model”);
- Properly managing land planning, urban management, information technology systems, and databases;
- Constructing a remote sensing laboratory with satellite data receivers, and an accredited laboratory for soil analysis (Research and Development Center);
- Organizing public consultation and information centers.
In this framework, the Asian Development Bank will finance the infrastructure of the agricultural industrial park, affordable housing, business incubator centers, communication and public facilities, heating systems, inter-village roads, energy supply, waste management, and urban roads. The European Investment Bank (EIB) loan and the European Union’s Asia Investment Fund’s non-repayable grant will be used for the redevelopment of the ger district streets, water supply, and sewage infrastructure, flood protection, and stormwater drainage systems. The European Union’s non-repayable grant will also be allocated for the land relations, information, and research complex center. The Climate Green Fund loan will finance the installation of solar panels.
