On June 21, GCL Technology released a statement stating that as of that date, all the production units of GCL’s 100,000-ton per year granular silicon project in Leshan had been completed or were in the process of being constructed and installed; they are now ready for commissioning and will start operating soon, with full capacity operation to be achieved by the end of the year. A relevant official from GCL Technology told reporters from the Daily Economic News on June 21 that the Leshan granular silicon facility had its first pile driven in April 2021; all tasks related to project construction, supply of water and electricity, equipment bidding, as well as transportation and installation have been coordinated and advanced, and the facility is now in the stage of individual unit testing, ready for operation. It is reported that the 100,000-ton granular silicon project at the Leshan facility is the first granular silicon plant built by GCL Technology in the western region. Once fully operational, this project will surpass the current record of 60,000 tons set by GCL Technology’s granular silicon plant in Xuzhou.
