Hong Kong Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau visited First Solar’s German manufacturing plant to observe production of the company’s advanced solar technology and review its contributions to environmental sustainability.

Secretary Yau was in Germany to discuss opportunities for integrated energy and innovative technologies ahead of Hong Kong’s hosting of the C40 workshop. As one of the world’s most dynamic cities, Hong Kong is playing an active role in promoting sustainable energies for a low carbon city, involving engagement with key stakeholders in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the rest of the world.

Rich Hossfeld, vice president of business development, stated that “First Solar is delighted by the Hong Kong government’s interest in the company’s technology and remains committed to working with partners around the globe to promote sustainable, and economically viable renewable energy solutions.”
