08 February 2008 - Materials - News

LDK SolarLDK Solar has reiterated that its Trichlorosilane (TCS) plant at its Xinyu, Jiangxi site remains on construction schedule as the Basic Engineering Phase (BEP) has been completed, which includes the detailed drawings for the actual construction phase of the project.

"Completion of the BEP by CDI Engineering on-time and on-budget is an important milestone to reach in the construction of our poly plant as we move forward with our plans to establish in-house polysilicon production," said Mr. Nick Sarno, Senior Vice President of manufacturing. "CDI Engineering performed admirably and met its contractual commitments to LDK's fullest satisfaction."

The company said that its TCS plant would be completed and would facilitate the production of up to 6,000 metric tons of polysilicon by the end of 2008 and 15,000 metric tons by the end of 2009.

However, there remains uncertainty that such projections for 2008 will be achieved.
