STOCKXPERTChina’s LDK Solar Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of multicrystalline solar wafers, has partnered with the city of Yancheng in Jiangsu province for the development of up to 500 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) solar power projects.
Under the agreement, LDK Solar will develop several PV power projects which will include ground-mounted power stations and roof and building integration systems totalling up to 500 MW over the next five years.
