Olivier de Vergnies, CEO of PSP, said, “We have commenced the phase for monetization of our business model in the photovoltaic sector. The success of signing our first 25MW photovoltaic sales contract not only exhibits the effectiveness of our strategy, but also demonstrates our company project development capabilities and delivery of value to our shareholders. We intend to engage world leading EPC and module suppliers to guarantee on-time project delivery and project-outsourcing in order to close additional definitive sales agreements before the end of April 2010.”
