PV manufacturer Goldpoly is continuing its shift downstream with the imminent purchase of projects totalling 300MW from Zhongli Talesun.
The move, by Goldpoly subsidiary China Solar Power Group (CSPG), is not yet confirmed. A statement released to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange said CSPG would acquire the project companies behind the projects in their entirety assuming “certain conditions were met”. The majority of these are linked to CSPG ensuring all the plants’ paperwork is in order.

CSPG, formerly known as China Merchants New Energy Holdings, was acquired by Goldpoly in June of this year for HK$2.12 billion (US$273 million).
