7, Zhonglai issued an announcement on the investment progress of important projects. The announcement disclosed the progress of the company's 16GW high-efficiency monocrystalline battery intelligent factory project, 200000 tons of industrial silicon and 100000 tons of high-purity polysilicon project, and 250 million square meters of general-purpose (transparent, white, black, etc.) photovoltaic backplane project. The first phase 8GW of the company
's 16GW high-efficiency monocrystalline battery intelligent factory project has been put into operation, and the second phase 8GW project equipment is gradually entering and installing. On May 24,
2021, Zhonglai announced that the company had signed an investment agreement for an intelligent factory project with an annual output of 16GW high-efficiency monocrystalline batteries. The total investment of the project is about 5.6 billion yuan, and the project will be constructed by stages, of which the first phase of the project is 8GW (the construction period is 24 months), and the estimated investment amount of the first phase of the project is about 3 billion yuan.
Annual output of 200,000 tons of industrial silicon and annual output of 100,000 tons of high-purity polysilicon project As of the disclosure date of this announcement, the company has completed the new establishment of the silicon material project company, and the silicon material project has obtained the enterprise investment project record certificate of Shanxi Province. At present, the environmental impact assessment report and energy conservation assessment report of the project are being commissioned by a third party. It is in the third-party evaluation stage of the pre-approval formalities. On March 15,
2022, Zhonglai announced that it planned to build an annual output of 200000 tons of industrial silicon and 100000 tons of high-purity polysilicon in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. The total construction period of the project is about 5 years, which is divided into two phases. The first phase is to build the project with an annual output of 200,000 tons of industrial silicon and 10,000 tons of high-purity polysilicon; the second phase is to build the project with an annual output of 90,000 tons of polysilicon. The first phase of the project will commence construction after the agreement comes into effect and will be completed and put into production in 2024; the second phase of the project will be promoted according to market conditions. The total investment of the project is about 14 billion yuan, of which the first phase of the project is about 4.3 billion yuan.
Annual output of 250 million square meters of general (transparent, white, black, etc.) photovoltaic backplane project As of the disclosure date of this announcement, the project has completed the project approval, and has obtained the EIA approval, the company will accelerate the follow-up work of the project. On July 22,
2022, Zhonglai announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Zhonglai New Material Technology Co., Ltd., intends to invest in the construction of a universal (transparent, white, black, etc.) photovoltaic backplane project with an annual output of 250 million square meters. The project is divided into two phases of construction, the first phase is planned to build an annual output of 100 million square meters of general photovoltaic backplane project, the construction period is 12 months, and it is planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2023; In view of the fact that the implementation of the second phase of the project will be based on the premise of obtaining part of the new land use right, the construction period will be 18 months from the date of obtaining the new land use right and completing the construction of relevant supporting power facilities, and it is planned to complete the production capacity of 50 million square meters every 6 months.
