As a result, Jinzhou Municipal Urban and Rural Planning and Construction Commission would acquire land use rights at one of the sites, providing Solargiga with around RMB182 million (US$28.6 million).
Solargiga said that the relocation of equipment had almost been completed at a cost of around RMB27 million (US$4.2 million).
The move was expected to improve the economies of scale and operational efficiencies, while minimising the overall operational and management costs associated with multi-site production.
