September 29, the State Council transmitted the provinces, regions and
municipalities, ministries, "on curbing overcapacity in some industries and
redundant construction and guide the healthy development of industry, a number
of opinions" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), require strict control of
energy shortages, higher electricity prices areas of new Polycrystalline Silicon projects,
the lack of supporting comprehensive utilization, environmental protection and
non-compliance of Polycrystalline Silicon projects not approved or record; new Polycrystalline Silicon
project size must be greater than 3000 tons / year.
Jiangsu to Silicon Industry Technology Development Co., Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as Jiangsu energy) an executive said
Polycrystalline Silicon prices
in the second quarter of this year, has been reduced to 60 U.S. dollars / kg for
low, a number of high cost, production capacity is only 100 tons class of small
projects have been discontinued, more 100 tons, 1000 tons
Polycrystalline Silicon plant will
be a small level of national environmental policies such as control measure to
stop production, "will reduce the overall domestic market supply
Polycrystalline Silicon to
change the Polycrystalline Silicon market disorderly competition in the situation. "
Correspond with national policies, giant new production capacity are
3,000 tons of bottom line-oriented. The two
Polycrystalline Silicon manufacturers in China,
Jiangsu China to three third production line of 5,000 tons was put into
operation by the end of September, will be formed by the end of the production
scale of 18,000 tons; Savi current first production line of 5,000 tons was built
early in September, by the end of All production lines upon completion, will
reach production capacity of 15,000 tons.
According to reports, the state has adopted the policy guidance on
Polycrystalline Silicon , Leshan, Luoyang, Xuzhou and other places used as samples in the
survey. According to Ma
Polycrystalline Silicon project the impact on the local electricity
demand, making the coastal provinces in the future power shortages poly fabric,
a point of exercising strict control over the project area.
"In the
future, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Sichuan, Western Power plentiful, prices are
likely to be places of lower
Polycrystalline Silicon investment hot spots, while Jiangsu and
Zhejiang and other coastal areas will compete for new projects is no longer an
advantage." Yang Yuan said, Luoyang Sino-silicon reason for setting up factories
in Baotou, electricity is the key consideration.
