Renewable Energy Corp ASA, Europe’s second-largest polysilicon producer, is closing its second wafer factory in five weeks after competition from Chinese rivals drove down prices by more than two-thirds for the material used in solar panels.
REC will cease production at the plant in Heroya, Norway, in the second quarter, eliminating 460 jobs, REC said today in a statement.
