GCL New Energy has revealed the terms of its plan to sell a solar project portfolio to state-owned power group Huaneng. The proposed 294 MW sale, which was initially expected to bring in RMB3.74 billion (US$550.8 million), has been adjusted. It now involves 403 MW of capacity for RMB3.19 billion. The proposed sale will be voted on by shareholders of GCL New Energy and its polysilicon-producing parent, GCL-Poly.

SFSY‘s shareholders have voted in favor of a plan to acquire a 47.5% controlling stake in Zibo Qilu Chemical Industry Zone Thermal Co. Ltd. The company operates a coal-burning power plant owned by SFSY’s main shareholder, state-owned Shuifa.
