In the third week of April, the price of photovoltaic-grade EVA rebounded. Looking back over the past three months, the price of photovoltaic-grade EVA continued to rise from the end of January to the beginning of April, with the price rising from 10,600 yuan/ton to 12,900 yuan/ton.

The production schedule of photovoltaic granule in April showed a very obvious downward adjustment compared with the beginning of the month. The inventory cost of film granule still maintained an upward trend, but the trend has obviously slowed down. As of the third week of April, production schedule of photovoltaic-grade EVA granule had been significantly reduced from the expected production schedule at the beginning of the month.

The consumption of film inventory by components is still continuing. This month's film inventory will see destocking, but it is expected that the price of film will most likely remain flat in April.

As for the foreign market, the supply of overseas EVA granule will increase next month, which may provide a large amount of photovoltaic-grade EVA to the market in a short period of time, but that will not have a significant impact in April.

[SMM PV News] National Energy Group Jiangsu 300 MW PV project announced

On September 7, the Yancheng Ecological Environment Bureau in Jiangsu Province publicly announced the ecological environment impact report for the first-phase 300,000 kW project of the Longyuan Jiangsu Dafeng H12# 500,000 kW wind and solar co-located offshore PV project. The content shows that Longyuan Jiangsu Dafeng H12 is one of the wind and solar co-located pilot projects selected in the Implementation Plan for Offshore PV Development and Construction in Jiangsu Province (2025-2030), and one of the major projects in Jiangsu Province in 2026. The project is located in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, and is being developed by Longyuan New Energy (Yancheng Dafeng) Co., Ltd. It will be implemented in two phases, with the first phase having a development capacity of approximately 300 MW and the second phase approximately 200 MW. The offshore booster station and export submarine cables will be constructed in a single effort during the first phase (with reserved connection conditions for the second phase). The scope of this environmental assessment covers only the first-phase 300 MW project. The first-phase 300 MW project obtained the Jiangsu Province investment project filing certificate on May 28, 2026. The project is located within the western zone of the site of the completed and operational Longyuan Jiangsu Dafeng 200 MW offshore wind power project. It involves the construction of a new 303.6 MW offshore PV power station, including a PV array with a DC-side installed capacity of 364.1616 MW, a 220 kV offshore booster station, on-site collector lines, and two 220 kV submarine cable circuits. The project developer is Longyuan New Energy (Yancheng Dafeng) Co., Ltd. The controlling shareholder of the company is Longyuan Power, which is a controlled subsidiary of China Energy Investment Corporation.
