The METROPOL Group of Companies offered to build a thermal power plant of Ulan-Ude to solve the problems of energy supply of Ozerny GOK and Ulan-Ude
A meeting of the Coordination board for the implementation of
investment projects in the Republic of Buryatia and the Baikal
Territory took place in Ulan-Ude in presence of V.A.Tolokonskiy,
authorized representative of the President of the Russian
Federation in Siberian Federal District.
The meeting was devoted to the integrated development of energy
infrastructure in the Baikal region and the need to overcome the
obstacles that prevent the increase of investment attractiveness of
the region.
Opening remarks were made by the President and Chairman of the
Government of the Republic of Buryatia V.V. Nagovitsyn and the
governor of the Baikal region R.F. Geniatulin.
During the meeting B.D.Tsyrenov, the Director of Regional

development of mining projects under the management of the MBC
corporation. This is, first of all, the remoteness of the
territory, its complex geological and geophysical conditions, lack
of energy resources, lack of transport infrastructure development,
etc. To secure the required energy supply to Ozerny site, you
need energy the speaker suggested the construction of a thermal
power plant with the capacity of 240 MW. However, though it
was previously supposed to be built in the vicinity of the deposit,
in the Yeravninskiy district, now B.D.Tsyrenov proposed to
construct thermal power plants in Ulan-Ude in form of a
public-private partnership.

President in Siberian Federal District, stated that the suggestions
of the METROPOL Group of Companies regarding the construction of a
heat and electrical energy power plant in Ulan-Ude the most
realistic and interesting, because their implementation would have
