BAODING, China, July 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green
Energy Holding Company Limited ("Yingli" or "Yingli Solar") (NYSE:YGE), one of the world's
leading solar panel manufacturers, today commented on the final
results of the first administrative reviews of the antidumping duty
("AD") and countervailing duty ("CVD") orders issued by the U.S.
Department of Commerce regarding the import of solar PV panels
assembled in China using
components from China. According
to today's results, Yingli's manufacturing affiliates will receive
the lowest combined tariff rate of its peers, amounting to 21.73%.
This is lower than Yingli's original combined AD/CVD rate of 29.18%
from 2012.
"While we are disappointed in the U.S. Department of Commerce's
decision to continue placing tariffs on an industry that is the
second fastest-growing energy industry in the U.S, we are now very
securely positioned to succeed in the U.S. market. So long as these
tariffs are in place, we will continue our vigorous defense and
fight for solar power's cost-competiveness," commented Mr.
Robert Petrina, Managing Director of
Yingli Green Energy Americas.
"It's unfortunate that while today's decision is encouraging for
Yingli, the entire American solar industry is impacted. Hundreds of
thousands of American homeowners, businesses and utilities benefit
from highly competitive solar solutions, which are now at risk,"
commented Mr. Liansheng Miao,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy.
