On April, Yunnan Yongchang Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yunnan Provincial Energy Investment Group, commenced production at its 100,000tpa hydropower silicon project in Longling, Baoshan.
With a total investment of 1.45 billion yuan (199 million US dollars), the project covers an area of 483Mu (32.2 hectares) and consists of six 33,000 kVA industrial silicon furnaces, along with associated raw material systems, waste heat power generation units, flue gas desulfurization facilities, and an intelligent auxiliary system. It is regarded as a benchmark project in China for industrial silicon production fully integrated with green and environmentally friendly technologies.
When operational, the project is expected to generate over 1.5 billion yuan (205 million US dollars) in annual industrial output, contribute more than 120 million yuan (16.43 million US dollars) in taxes, and create over 300 jobs.
The project will provide high-quality raw materials for downstream industries such as photovoltaics, organic silicon, and aluminum alloys. It will support Yunnan's efforts to build an integrated industrial chain from hydropower-based silicon materials to polysilicon and photovoltaic modules, enhance synergy across the value chain, and accelerate the development of a 100-billion-yuan-level green industrial cluster.
