Russian ' Conti ' invests in photovoltaic

As it became known,. Construction Group of Companies ... plans to invest up to 9 billion rubles. Zheleznogorsk Mining and Chemical Plant. This company has become one of the first Russian producers of polysilicon - the most popular raw material for manufacturing solar cells.

The group of companies ... Currently, MCC is in the form of federal state-owned enterprise (FSUE ) and is administered by the State Corporation ... At the same time, the GCC is now in the process of incorporation, at the end of which the shares of the company will move the company ... to consolidate state-owned assets in the field of nuclear energy, unrelated to the military industry).

After that, ... Contribution to the corporation of its share capital, says Gavrilov, MCC will share and the group ... It is expected that the ... and will receive the new company controlling shares. With a view to adopting a business plan to the creditors of the company reached with the administration of the Krasnoyarsk Territory agreement on the construction of transmission line length of 70 km for the GCC and neighboring power companies.

Originally created as an MCC underground nuclear plant to produce weapons-grade plutonium. In the 90s the company was focused more on the conversion and storage of irradiated nuclear fuel, production of heat and electricity, as well as the production of monocrystalline silicon. In 2008,. MCC has launched a production line of polycrystalline silicon - both types of silicon are used as raw materials to create solar cells. At the first stage of the power line is 200 tons / year over the next 1.5 years, it will be increased to two thousand tons / year, and further, by bringing in investors' funds - up to 4 tonnes / year.

The market for solar energy is considered to be promising, showing a 30% annual growth. In 2008,. it amounted to 5.6 MW in the current year, the European Photovoltaic Association projected the figure at 6.8 MW in 2013. - 22.3 MW. Most of the solar cell - 45.2% - is based on poly-and multicrystalline silicon, and in recent years there has been a deficiency in the market ( polysilicon is also used in the semiconductor industry ). According to Lehman Brothers, in 2007. world produced 40 thousand. tons of polysilicon demand for 55 thousand. tons, last year these figures were 55 thousand. tons and 65 thousand. tons, respectively. However, in the near future the trend will change and the proposal will exceed the demand, for example, in 2012. production is expected to reach 245 thousand. tons, while demand - only about 205 thousand. t.

In the Soviet Union, there were several manufactures polysilicon, but after adjustment they were all closed. MCC was one of the first Russian factories, which revived the production of raw materials. Apart from him, last year polysilicon production companies have been launched ... expected to yield to the level of 3.8 thousand. tons / year). Earlier this year, ... Belonging to the corporation ... its capacity should reach 5 thousand. tons / year, investment in the project expected to reach 640 million euros. ...

The group of companies ... Gavrilov of the MCC hopes to sodanie within the group ... However, the main market is abroad as forum participants agreed Semicom Russia, 2009, in the next few years without significant government support the demand for solar power in Russia do not appear.
