China has published a stricter mandatory energy consumption standard for polysilicon production, lowering the maximum allowable energy use for existing rod-silicon plants and tightening accounting rules. The revised standard, effective Jan. 1, 2027, could significantly reduce China's compliant polysilicon capacity, although the near-term supply impact may be limited because much of the affected capacity is already idle.
In other news, Shenzhen Energy's subsidiary Sunon Asogli Power (Ghana) Ltd. plans to invest $34 million in a 50 MW solar project in Ghana's Savannah Region, marking the company's first overseas solar investment. Meanwhile, Dinto Solar secured a 1 GW HJT module supply lot in China Datang Group's 11 GW PV module framework tender. In China's upstream market, polysilicon and wafer prices continued to decline amid weak demand, rising inventories, and cautious downstream purchasing, with manufacturers maintaining relatively stable but subdued operating rates.
LG Energy Solution has sued Chinese battery manufacturer EVE Energy in the United States and asked the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to block imports of products it says infringe five battery technology patents.
