Further details were not given, but the company has been on an aggressive drive this year to expands project development business in China’s booming market.

In July it announced its acquisition of a 95% stake in almost 500MW of PV projects being developed by Hareon Solar and then last month revealed plans to build up to 1.5GW of PV capacity in China’s remote western Xinjiang province.
