It has also adopted a new logo. It follows a special resolution passed by the shareholders in August 2020. The company website has also been renamed following the announcement. The change of name comes after integrated energy services company Beijing Energy Holding Co., Ltd. became the largest shareholder of then Panda Green in February 2020.
This happens to be the 2nd time the company has changed its name. It was earlier called United Photovoltaics Group Limited (PVEP) and renamed itself Panda Green Energy Group Limited in 2017 after it entered into a memorandum of understanding with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The idea was to set up panda-shaped solar power plants in a bid to encourage clean energy technologies and promote youth participation in achieving sustainable development goals (SDG) of the UNDP.
