Covering an area of 2,513 mu, the factory will be located in Huangling and the total investment will be RMB 18.2 billion ($2.64 billion). The factory will produce 100 thousand tons of silicon metal, 100 thousand tons of polycrystalline silicon, 20 GW of monocrystalline silicon ingots and 10 GW of monocrystalline silicon wafers. On completion, the annual sales income will be about RMB 21.4 billion ($3.10 billion) and the annual profit will be about RMB 11.9 billion ($1.72 billion).

Datang shortlists Huawei, Sungrow, Sineng Electric: China Datang Corporation announced via WeChat the winning candidates for the centralized procurement of photovoltaic power generation string inverter for 2022-2023. The winning candidate is Shanghai Youzhi New Energy Technology, a subsidiary of Huawei FusionSolar; followed by Sungrow and Sineng Electric.

GCL New Energy released H1 2022 report: GCL New Energy released its 2022 semi-annual report and said that it has achieved a revenue of RMB 558 million ($80.8 million), up 190.2% year on year.
