On June 14, 2016, the construction of the civil foundation for stage A of the crystal rod production facility in Xinjiang Xinneng’s 30,000 tons per year polycrystalline silicon project, which was undertaken by the Xinjiang branch, officially began. The project is located in the Wucailawan Industrial Park in Jimsar County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang. The scope of work undertaken by the branch company includes civil construction, installation, and electrical and instrumentation work for facilities such as reduction and processing units, exhaust gas treatment systems, substation buildings, and cabinet rooms.
On January 6, 2017, the Second Branch won the bid for the construction work of the first phase of Xinjiang GCL New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.’s 40,000 tons per year polycrystalline silicon production facility. The scope of work for the Second Branch includes: 2 reduction workshops, sorting workshops, exhaust gas recovery units, and distillation units, as well as the civil engineering, installation, electrical and instrumentation work, and anti-corrosion and insulation measures for the intermediate tank area, cold hydrogenation unit, and air separation unit. The project is located in the Wucaiwan Industrial Park in Qitai County, Xinjiang, and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2017.
During the 2016 Asia-Europe Expo, GCL Group signed a cooperation framework agreement with the local government, intending to invest 30 billion yuan in building a polysilicon production facility with an output of 100,000 tons, as well as facilities for producing 300,000 tons of ultra-pure silicon and related electrodes, and 3,000 tons of ultra-pure graphite in the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone. Two back-pressure steam turbines are also to be installed as part of this project. The project has received great attention from the district and provincial party committees as well as **leadership; it has been designated as a key project at the district and provincial levels. The completion of this project will help accelerate the development of the Zhundong Development Zone as a demonstration area for **electricity sector reform and an experimental zone for comprehensive energy reform.
