The upgraded and decongested plant is expected to target production costs of around US$14/kg when fully ramped later in 2014.

According to a recent report from Bernreuter Research, total polysilicon volume imported into China amounted to 82,755MT in 2012 and 80,653MT in 2013.

The specialist research firm is forecasting around 66,000MT of new low-cost polysilicon capacity to come on stream in 2014.
