REC Silicon - Continues to operate Moses Lake at 25% until further notice
Fornebu, Norway - March 5, 2019: With reference to the news release on February 12, 2019, following a decision by REC Silicon ASA's (REC Silicon) Board of Directors, REC Silicon will continue to operate its FBR facility in Moses Lake, Washington at approximately 25 percent of the facility's capacity until further notice. The Board's decision is subject to gaining further clarity on whether trade negotiations between the Governments of the United States and China are likely to result in REC regaining access to the China market for solar grade polysilicon and the overall outlook for the polysilicon market.
REC Silicon is grateful to and thanks the Government of the United States (USG), specifically President Trump and U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Lighthizer and his team, for prioritizing the interests of high technology, innovative manufacturers like the U.S. polysilicon industry and its highly skilled workers in its on-going trade discussions with China. REC Silicon urges the USG to continue to insist on an immediate termination of China's long-standing trade embargo on U.S. polysilicon exports as soon as possible as a necessary element of any agreement between the USG and China.
There is no change to previous guidance issued by REC Silicon.
