REC's Herøya site is widely tipped to follow Glomfjord into oblivion
In a long-anticipated announcement, REC says its 300MW monocrystalline wafer plant at Glomfjord will be closed “shortly”.
REC will record the costs associated with the closedown in the first quarter of 2012, having already written down to zero the fixed assets of the Glomfjord plant last year.
The closure means the loss of another 200 jobs, representing a severe blow to the northern Norwegian village of Glomfjord – the site of REC’s first production facility, which turned out the company’s first wafer in 1997.
