Last week, the high-purity quartz sand prices remained stable.

Last week, the high-purity quartz sand prices remained stable. Current prices for industry-leading companies' quartz crucible inner layer sand are 370,000-440,000 yuan/mt, middle layer sand is 190,000-230,000 yuan/mt, and outer layer sand is 100,000-120,000 yuan/mt. However, downstream crucible and integrated silicon wafer companies, lacking confidence in domestic quartz sand and reluctant to accept high prices, shifted focus towards long-term contracts for overseas quartz sand.

A leading petrochemical plant halted one production resumption line yesterday, and today another line started producing LDPE. In the short term, the enterprise's production schedule will maintain parallel production of one high-pressure material line and one PV material line. After this line adjustment, the plant's PV material output scale has contracted somewhat.

On August 31, 2026, the Huaneng Shaanxi Shenmu 100,000 kW PV power generation project achieved full-capacity grid connection, marking that the installed capacity of Huaneng Shaanxi New Energy Branch exceeded 3 million kW. Since the commencement of the Shenmu project, in the face of multiple challenges such as frequent windy and sandy weather in northern Shaanxi, complex terrain and landforms, constrained construction conditions, and tight schedule periods, all builders have united their efforts, overcome difficulties, and pursued excellence. They strictly implemented safety production and quality control requirements, scientifically coordinated construction plans, optimized construction process flows, and orderly advanced key tasks including booster station construction, solar panel mounting bracket installation, module laying, collector line installation, and equipment debugging and calibration. Through refined management, standardized construction, and regularized problem-solving, they efficiently resolved various difficulties and bottlenecks during the construction process, steadily advanced the project construction progress, and successfully completed the perfect conclusion from first grid connection to full-capacity grid connection, fully demonstrating Huaneng's speed, Huaneng's responsibility, and Huaneng's quality.
