ReneSola Signs RMB800 Million Project Loan Agreement with China Construction
Bank for Sichuan Polysilicon Production Facility
JIASHAN, China, January 27, 2009 - ReneSola Ltd ("ReneSola" or the "Company"),
a leading Chinese manufacturer of solar wafers, today announced that its wholly
owned subsidiary Sichuan ReneSola Material Co. Ltd. signed a RMB800 million
(approximately US$117 million) five-year project loan agreement with China
Construction Bank, Sichuan Branch to support the construction of ReneSola's
polysilicon production facility in Meishan, Sichuan province.
"We are pleased to announce that we've secured additional financing for our
Sichuan polysilicon manufacturing facility," said Charles Bai, ReneSola's chief
financial officer. "The agreement, combined with previously acquired financing,
provides ReneSola with approximately 90% of the capital necessary to fund the
project to completion. Our ability to secure capital in a tight credit
environment demonstrates confidence in the development and operation of our
polysilicon facility and faith in our management team's track record of
delivering positive results."
The Company noted that pilot production for phase one of its Sichuan
polysilicon manufacturing facility is expected to commence late in the second
quarter of 2009 and phase two pilot production is expected to commence late in
the third quarter of 2009. Each phase will consist of 1,500 metric tones ("MT")
of polysilicon production. As part of the Company's long-term strategy, the
3,000 MT Sichuan facility will provide ReneSola with a stable and low-cost
source of polysilicon feedstock, enhancing its position as a leading wafer
producer within the industry."
