The contract follows last week’s announcement that it had agreed a 765MW contract with another Taiwanese cell producer Solartech Energy Corporation.
Both contracts will be fulfilled by LDK’s Chinese subsidiary Jiangxi LDK Solar Hi-Tech Co. Ltd.
LDK spent the second half of 2013 negotiating a series of postponements to payments to bondholders. Liquidators at Cayman Islands firm Zolfo Cooper agreed a deal with bondholders in early April 2014. Liquidators are also fighting against delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, which begin around the same time.
