Silicor says it has worked with the Danish civil engineering giant for more than a year to optimize the design of the planned 121,000 square-meter facility, which will supply global PV cell and module manufacturers.

Silicor, which is by the private-equity firm Hudson Clean Energy Partners, expects to begin construction on the plant in Grundartangi in West Iceland early 2016.

“One by one, we continue to check off the boxes required to get our commercial-scale plant in the ground—on time, on budget, and with some of the biggest names in the business,” says Terry Jester, chief executive of Silicor Materials.
