Thomas Lapham, chief executive of ACC, said: “ACC is honoured to begin cooperation with Wahaha Group on rooftop solar PV projects. Wahaha Group is the largest food and beverage manufacturer in China with over 80 production bases across the country. Our firms will initiate the solar programme for two Wahaha manufacturing bases in Zhejiang province first, anticipating tremendous potential to expand cooperation nationwide in the future.”

Goldman Sachs-backed ACC recently announced that it would partner SUMEC New Energy & Development to develop a 100MW solar pipeline in China.
