\u201cFollowing a tour of our planned facilities in Manitoba and meetings in Calgary with members of Hanwha\u2019s management team in June of 2022, we are delighted to enter into an MOU with Hanwha regarding long-term supply of our low-carbon, patterned solar glass,\u201d stated CPS president Glenn Leroux. \u201cHanwha\u2019s North American solar glass demand requirements of over 3 GW of module manufacturing represents over 80% of our planned Phase 1 production capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Qcells has also already established a partnership with polysilicon producer REC Silicon based in Moses Lake, Washington, which has also locked down a U.S. silicon supply with Ferroglobe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Qcells expands its manufacturing footprint in North America, we see tremendous value in securing supply from a trusted partner that is proximal to our operations. Additionally, the integrated nature of CPS\u2019s operation with its wholly-owned sand resource and the use of renewable hydro-electricity in its manufacturing process offer excellent alignment with our low-carbon objectives,\u201d said Hanwha reps in a press release.<\/p>\n

CPS’s Manitoba glass manufacturing facility is not yet built. The company continues to advance other development initiatives that will bring the solar glass project to a shovel-ready status, including permitting, silica sand resource upgrading and testing and ongoing negotiations to convert other existing expressions of interest to commercial offtake agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
