On December 26, 2018, Tongwei shares announced that in December 2018, the first phase of Leshan's 50,000 tons of high-purity crystalline silicon project of 25 thousand tons (hereinafter referred to as "Leshan Phase I Project") has been successfully completed, and It will be officially put into production in the near future.
It is understood that the Leshan Phase I project has been completed in 12 months from the start of construction and will be officially put into operation on December 28, 2018. Based on the company's industry leading position in the field of polysilicon R & D and production, the Leshan Phase I project has fully applied more than ten years of technology accumulation and scientific research results, and has carried out dozens of optimization and optimization in terms of advanced process design and system operation reliability. Upgrading, more than 70% of the products can meet the needs of P-type single crystal and N-type single crystal after the project reaches production, and gradually realize the import substitution, further alleviating the situation of domestic dependence on imports of high-purity crystalline silicon. Based on the improvement of technical processes, the improvement of production efficiency, and the decrease in energy consumption, while the quality of products is further improved, the production cost will be reduced to less than 40,000 yuan / ton.
Tongwei believes that energy reform and green development have become a global consensus. At the "Belt and Road" Energy Ministerial Meeting and the International Forum on Energy Change on October 18, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter, and Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission Lian Wei Liang also delivered a keynote speech at the conference. At the same time, at the private enterprise symposium held on November 1, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions and responses to the speech of private entrepreneurs in the photovoltaic industry, which confirmed the direction and clear goals for China's clean energy development. General Secretary Xi Jinping said that since the 18th CPC National Congress, we have put forward the concept of green development, and the report of the 19th CPC National Congress has also stated that we must unswervingly promote energy transformation and clean development. At the same time, China will certainly keep its promise of the Paris Agreement, actively promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote the energy revolution. It fully reflects China's high emphasis on promoting energy transformation, promoting sustainable energy development, and deepening international energy cooperation. A new round of energy reform is booming. Regardless of whether it is in developed or developing countries, energy reform is taken as the basic guide for sustainable energy development.
With the vigorous development of the global photovoltaic new energy industry in the future, the market demand for high-purity crystalline silicon will continue to expand. After the project is completed and put into operation, the actual production capacity will exceed 30,000 tons per year. By then, the actual production capacity of the high-purity crystalline silicon formed by the company's two production bases in Leshan and Baotou will reach 80,000 tons / year. Combining the company's technological R & D, cost efficiency, comprehensive management, market channels and other advantages in the crystalline silicon field, it will further increase the company's high-purity crystalline silicon market share and consolidate and strengthen the company's core competitiveness in the photovoltaic new energy industry chain .
