At 600 MW, Tevshiin Gobi power station is well above the median coal plant in Mongolia (450 MW). Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
