Gigasun's wholly-owned subsidiary in China has signed a new agreement with an industrial company in the lithium battery industry, for the installation of a solar power plant with a capacity of approximately 6 megawatts (MW) in Jiangxi Province. The plant is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately SEK 2.65 million from electricity sales, which corresponds to a total order value of approximately SEK 53 million over the 20-year term of the agreement. The investment in the plant amounts to approximately SEK 24 million and the project is planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The plant will be owned and operated by Gigasun's subsidiaries and is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2,800 tonnes per year. The project is fully commercially viable without the need for government subsidies.
CEO Max Metelius comments:
The order confirms our good ability despite tough competition to generate large projects with good profitability. The operations in China are functioning well and generating stable cash flows. The challenge has been to transfer liquidity to Sweden, not to the business. Through the autumn issues, we have reduced debt by approximately SEK 80 million, and approximately 30 percent of SOLT4 has been converted into shares. We continue to work on managing the remaining bond debt, while continuing to develop our core business in China.
