On July 28, the public announcement of the shortlisted candidates for the concentrated procurement supplier pre-selection project of PV modules from 2026 to 2028, conducted by an affiliate of Shenzhen Energy Group, was released. The shortlisted enterprises included TCL Zhonghuan Energy Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., Gokin Solar Co., Ltd., HoYuan Green Energy Co., Ltd., Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Qiming PV Technology Co., Ltd., TrinaSolar Co., Ltd., Tongwei Co., Ltd., Zhejiang AIKO Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Chint New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and CECEP Solar Energy Technology (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd.

On July 28, the pre-selection results for the centralized PV module procurement supplier program for Shenzhen Energy Group's affiliated enterprises, covering 2026-2028, were announced. The shortlisted enterprises are TCL Zhonghuan Energy Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., Gokin Solar Co., Ltd., Hoyuan Green Energy Co., Ltd., Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Qiming Solar Technology Co., Ltd., TrinaSolar Co., Ltd., Tongwei Co., Ltd., Zhejiang AIKO Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Chint New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and CECEP Solar Energy Technology (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd.

This project is for the supplier pre-selection of centralized PV module procurement for Shenzhen Energy Group's affiliated enterprises from 2026 to 2028, aiming to establish a centralized procurement supplier pre-selection database with a two-year validity period. The estimated total procurement volume is approximately 1GW, and the actual procurement quantity and amount will be based on the sales contracts signed between end users and awarded suppliers. This tender does not commit to a specific procurement volume. During the validity period, end users will determine awarded suppliers from the pre-selection database through a two-stage procurement method based on actual project needs, with evaluation conducted via a comprehensive scoring method.

The project is divided into two sections, both utilizing bifacial module technology with no restrictions on solar cell size. The specific requirements are as follows:

Section 1: Procurement of N-type standard modules, with a module photoelectric conversion efficiency of no less than 22.8% and a single module power of no less than 615W;

Section 2: Procurement of N-type high-efficiency modules, with a module photoelectric conversion efficiency of no less than 23.8% and a single module power of no less than 640W.

Bidders may choose to participate in one or all sections and must provide a complete response to all content within the selected section(s) without any omissions, otherwise the bid will be invalidated. Upon winning, suppliers will be entered into the database by section. The number of pre-selected suppliers for each section ranges from 3 to 8, determined based on the number of valid bidders with a 20% elimination rate, capped at 8. If the number of winning candidates is fewer than 3, the tender for this instance will fail.

Sinomine in Talks to Acquire Malawi's Kanyika Niobium Project from Globe Metals & Mining

[SMM Flash] Sinomine Resource Group is in talks to acquire Globe Metals & Mining’s Kanyika niobium development project in Malawi. The potential transaction would bring the Chinese critical-minerals group closer to a project it is already supporting through Sinomine International (Zambia) Engineering, which has been involved in early construction and development works at Kanyika. Globe began construction in January 2026 under a cost-reimbursable collaboration agreement, while first oxide production is targeted for the first quarter of 2028. Kanyika is positioned as a potential source of niobium and tantalum oxides, with Globe’s 2026 project plan targeting approximately 3,000 tonnes per year of Nb₂O₅ and 150 tonnes per year of Ta₂O₅ at full scale. Globe has previously retained full ownership and offtake rights while using Sinomine’s regional construction and processing expertise. Any acquisition would strengthen Sinomine’s exposure to niobium outside China and could add another strategic African critical-minerals asset to its expanding international portfolio.

Trekor Advances Aley Niobium Project with Optimised Processing and Commercial Focus

[SMM Flash] Trekor Metals on August 19 provided an update on its wholly owned Aley niobium project in northeastern British Columbia, reporting progress in its proprietary flotation process that has delivered higher niobium recoveries, improved concentrate grades and reduced reagent consumption. The company said the resulting concentrate has been successfully processed into market-grade ferroniobium, a key input for specialty steel production, while work is also underway to evaluate direct production of high-purity niobium oxide. Trekor has appointed Steve Sparkowich as Director, Aley Niobium, to support technical development, market positioning and commercial strategy. According to the company’s existing NI 43-101 technical report, Aley contains 84 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves grading 0.50% Nb₂O₅, with a planned processing rate of 10,000 tonnes per day and projected annual capacity of 14,000 tonnes of ferroniobium over a 24-year mine life. Following successful pilot testing and ferroniobium production, Trekor is now scaling up the programme and shifting its focus towards product marketing, potential offtake parties and processors. The company’s current update indicates continued progress towards commercial development, although the project remains subject to development, financing, permitting and other risks.
