Tongwei said on Wednesday that it will need around two more months to resume production at its flooded polysilicon factory in Leshan, Sichuan province. The company said it is negotiating with its insurance company to cover the loss, while noting that raw material prices remain stable. The production halt shaved around 25% off the group’s 80,000 MT annual production capacity, but Tongwei said it has managed to maintain 60,000 MT of production. The Leshan plant was originally expected to restart production within 10 days.
