According to a report from Business News on November 8, Yue Yuesheng, deputy secretary of the Qujing Municipal Party Committee and mayor of the city, signed an agreement regarding the investment and construction of a silicon materials industry base project on behalf of Qujing City, in collaboration with Yunnan Metallurgical Group Co., Ltd. Under the agreement, Yunnan Metallurgical Group will, during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, invest in the expansion of polycrystalline silicon production facilities in the Nanhaizi Industrial Park of Qujing Economic and Technological Development Zone. These projects include a polycrystalline silicon production facility with an annual capacity of 2,000 tons aimed at reducing energy consumption, a facility with an annual capacity of 5,000 tons for industrial-scale polycrystalline silicon production, and a facility for manufacturing solar silicon wafers with an annual capacity of 500 megawatts. The total investment is expected to be no less than 12 billion yuan, with an annual output value of 15 billion yuan. Develop downstream polysilicon industry projects to promote the growth of the silicon industry cluster. Yunnan Metallurgy Group Co., Ltd. is a key enterprise with an annual production capacity of 2,000 tons and 520 production units, focusing on five major industries: aluminum, lead-zinc, manganese, titanium, and silicon. It is also one of the 10 large-scale industrial enterprises that receive priority support in Yunnan Province. In 2001, Chihong Company’s Qujing smelting plant officially signed a contract to locate in the Qujing Development Zone, where it subsequently built major and high-quality projects such as one with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of zinc, 60,000 tons of lead and zinc alloys, 30 tons of germanium per year, as well as a technology research and development center ； In 2008, Kunming Yeyan New Materials Co., Ltd. began construction of a polysilicon production facility with an annual output of 3,000 tons in Nanhaizi, filling a gap in the new materials and new energy industries in Qujing and throughout Yunnan. This initiative raised the industrial level of the development zone and enhanced the region’s industrial development capabilities. The product of the 3,000-ton/year polycrystalline silicon industrialization project in Phase I of the Nanhaizi Industrial Park in the development zone is of semiconductor grade, offering advantages such as low cost, favorable environmental impact, and reduced energy consumption. The main production processes and equipment for this project incorporate advanced technologies from Europe and the United States, ensuring a high standard and cutting-edge technology for the project. According to data provided by a Chinese engineering consulting firm, it is the company with the most advanced technology and processes for polysilicon projects that are under construction or planned in China. This project has been included in Yunnan Province’s list of 20 key industrial construction projects to be promoted; testing is currently underway, and the trial operations are progressing well, with production expected to begin in the near future. The completion and operation of this series of major projects have become the most important industrial support, the key industrial foundation, and the most direct driver of economic growth for the **-level Qujing Economic and Technological Development Zone. “The investment and construction project for the Silicon Materials Industrialization Base was officially signed, representing a significant opportunity for Qujing Development Zone to enhance its key industries and expand industrial clusters, thereby accelerating the development of its industrial economy. It also marks an important starting point for Qujing City in adjusting its industrial structure, using large-scale projects to drive new forms of industrialization and accelerate the creation of a modern, industrially strong city. Following the completion of the project with an annual production capacity of 3,000 tons of polysilicon, the signing and implementation of subsequent expansion projects for the silicon materials industry base will surely further promote the optimization and upgrading of the city’s industrial economy. It holds great significance for advancing the city’s path toward modern industrialization, accelerating the implementation of strategies to strengthen the industrial sector, and fostering sound and rapid economic and social development. The main leaders of the Qujing People’s Congress, the Municipal Political Consultative Conference, and the municipal people’s government, as well as those from Yunnan Metallurgy Group Co., Ltd., Kunming Metallurgical Research New Materials Co., Ltd., Yunnan Chihong Zinc-Germanium Co., Ltd., and Yunnan Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd., attended the signing ceremony. Chen Jun, Deputy Secretary of the Qujing Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Mayor of the city, presided over the signing ceremony.
ReneSola to Invest 23.5 Billion Yuan in Building a Photovoltaic Base in Sichuan, Business Society reports on November 8. On November 5, reporters learned from Sichuan China Merchants Group that Zhejiang Yuhui Solar Energy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the British company ReneSola, will invest a total of 23.5 billion yuan in building a photovoltaic industry complex in Meishan, Sichuan. The project covers an area of 6,000 mu, with completion expected within 5 years. The above information was also confirmed by the relevant responsible person at Zhejiang Yuhui Sunshine Energy Co., Ltd. It is understood that the photovoltaic industry base project will see an investment of 3 billion yuan between 2010 and 2011, to build a polysilicon production facility with an annual capacity of 6,000 tons, a wire production facility with an annual capacity of 16,800 tons, and a crucible production facility with an annual capacity of 90,000 units. From 2012 to 2016, 20.5 billion yuan was invested: 4.5 billion yuan was spent on building a polysilicon production facility with an annual capacity of 14,000 tons, 1 billion yuan was invested in projects related to the purification of liquid chlorine, hydrogen, and trichlorosilane for use in polysilicon production, and 12 billion yuan was invested over six phases in projects aimed at integrating battery manufacturing, silicon wafer production, and module fabrication, resulting in an overall production capacity of 3,600 megawatts. In addition, the British company Reneng Group invested 5.2 billion yuan in 2007 to establish Sichuan Reneng Silicon Materials Co., Ltd.; the first-phase production line with an annual capacity of 3,000 tons of polysilicon came online in 2009. British company Solara Group is a publicly listed company that is listed on both the LSE AIM board in London (LSE: SOLA) and the NYSE main board in New York (NYSE: SOL). Its business scope includes the production and sales of native polysilicon, monocrystalline silicon rods, polysilicon ingots, and silicon wafers, as well as the manufacturing and sales of solar cells and modules, along with photovoltaic system solutions. Zhejiang Yuhui Sunshine Energy Co., Ltd. mainly deals in solar-grade monocrystalline silicon wafers and polycrystalline silicon wafers, and is a wafer manufacturer that engages in the large-scale production of both monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon. As one of the top three silicon wafer manufacturers in the world, it has a production capacity of 1,200 megawatts for silicon wafers.
There is also the polysilicon project in Jiangsu Pizhou worth over 9.6 billion. (Announced at the end of October)
Boss, do you have a list of polysilicon companies from various locations? Give it to me. Thank you
Planning is one thing, but technology is the key; there aren’t many companies in China that possess core technologies
Wasn’t the first one under construction a long time ago? I had seen pictures of the factory building online before……
What a waste of effort; by the time he finishes building it, the price of polysilicon will have dropped again, and winter will be here!
Ruinen is expanding both horizontally and vertically – it’s a big gamble
At this time last year, production of polysilicon came to a halt. There are so many news items these days; **they’re not imposing any controls again, haha.
Could you give me a copy of what’s been prepared? Thank you. nt*ngqiu@163.com
