[Annual Production of 20GW! Tongwei's PV Monocrystalline Silicon Wafer Project Energy-Saving Report Approved] Polaris Solar PV Network has learned that on January 9, the Sichuan Provincial National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a review opinion on the energy-saving report of a PV manufacturing project, and in principle approved the energy-saving report for the Phase I construction of the PV monocrystalline silicon wafer smart factory submitted by Zhongwei New Energy (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (Polaris Solar PV Network)

According to Polaris Solar PV Network, on January 9, the Sichuan Provincial National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a review opinion on the energy-saving report of a PV manufacturing project, granting in principle approval for the energy-saving report submitted by Zhongwei New Energy (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. for the construction of the Phase I PV monocrystalline silicon wafer smart factory project.

The document indicates that the Phase I PV monocrystalline silicon wafer smart factory project by Zhongwei New Energy is located in Huangjia Street, Shuangliu District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, along the southern extension of Xihanggang Avenue. The total investment of the project is 700 million yuan, aiming to establish a production line for PV monocrystalline silicon wafers with an annual output of 20 GW of monocrystalline silicon wafers (182 mm × 210 mm). The project will lease the existing production workshop of the former Tongwei Solar (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., converting the original A1 battery workshop into an A1 slicing workshop. Additionally, it will construct one new C1 cafeteria and involve a total building area of 67,065.14 m² (including 2,570.76 m² of new construction and 64,494.38 m² of leased and renovated area). The project will also purchase and install process equipment such as slotting machines, automatic rod bonding lines, slicing machines, degumming machines, and integrated cleaning machines. The construction period for the project is from November 2024 to September 2025.

Public information shows that Zhongwei New Energy (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. was established in July 2018 with a registered capital of 800 million yuan. Its legal representative is Kuanxin Guo, and its business scope includes the manufacturing of PV equipment and components, battery manufacturing, and mechanical and electrical equipment manufacturing. The company is 100% owned by Tongwei Solar Co., Ltd.

Silicon Metal Focuses on Changes in Operating Rates on the Supply Side, Silicone Prices Show Optimistic Sentiment [SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Meeting Summary]

[SMM Silicon-Based PV Morning Conference Summary] Silicon Metal: Post-Chinese New Year, the market exhibited strong wait-and-see sentiment, with silicon enterprise offers remaining basically stable compared to pre-holiday levels. Yesterday, SMM assessed oxygen-blown #553 silicon in east China at 9,200-9,400 yuan/mt and #441 silicon at 9,300-9,600 yuan/mt. The most-traded futures contract fluctuated near 8,350-8,450 yuan/mt, while some futures-spot traders saw their spot-futures price spread quotes strengthen slightly. On the first trading day after the holiday, market activity was dominated by inquiries, with limited spot transaction volumes. Silicone: Yesterday's transaction price stood at 13,800-14,000 yuan/mt, holding steady from pre-holiday levels. During the Chinese New Year holiday, demand remained stagnant. Post-holiday, as downstream plants resumed operations and the first wave of rigid restocking demand gradually emerged, coupled with low operating rates on the supply side and the upcoming silicone monomer industry conference in Zhejiang from late February to early March, silicone prices are still expected to rise.
