State-backed French utility EDF EN has said it will increase the production capacity of its ingots and wafers from 50 MW to 100 MW, and create new company, Photowatt Crystal Advanced, to undertake the work. The facility, a joint venture between Canadian Solar and existing EDF unit Photowatt, currently has a capacity of 500 MW, while its expansion forms part of EDF's 30 GW plan, unveiled in December.
