Construction Begins on Polysilicon and New Energy Integrated Project in Xinjiang

BEIJING--June 19, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Tebian Electric Apparatus Stock Company's (Changji) polysilicon and new energy integrated project, a key project of the Xinjiang autonomous region, recently began construction. The first phase of the project will have an investment of $235 million and will provide a production capacity of 1,500 tons of polysilicon per year. The estimated production date is 2009.
