SGCC is a state-owned enterprise approved by the State Council to conduct government authorized investment activities.

Yingli Green Energy stated that its modules will power the largest out of three solar projects being developed by SGCC in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province.

The installations, totalling 60 MW, are part of the second phase of China’s National Wind/PV/Energy Storage and Transmission Joint Demonstration Project. Module deliveries will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Yingli Green Energy chairman and CEO Liansheng Miao said, "We are honoured to have the opportunity to collaborate with SGCC again and to provide our high-quality PV modules for this high-profile energy demonstration project.

"We were selected for this project because of our leadership position in the domestic market, and we are pleased to note that the bidding results demonstrate that the price gap between China and overseas markets is narrowing as supply and demand fundamentals in the Chinese solar market are strengthening, helping to further improve our profitability."
