August 20th， according to Kuai Technology， sources from the industry have revealed that a meeting convened by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on August 19th was a general assembly. However， it did not delve into the specific implementation details of “anti-monopoly” measures for each segment of the industry.
It is anticipated that discussions focusing on the anti-monopoly specifics for the battery， module， wafer， and polysilicon segments will take place on August 20th and 21st.
It is worth noting that the MIIT’s anti-monopoly meeting has been characterized by a high degree of confidentiality. Participating enterprises have reportedly signed non-disclosure agreements， meaning that detailed discussions and outcomes will only be officially released by the authorities.
On the evening of August 19th， the official WeChat account “Gongxin Weiba” unexpectedly announced that the MIIT， along with the Central Committee for Comprehensive Social Affairs， the National Development and Reform Commission， the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council， the State Administration for Market Regulation， and the National Energy Administration， jointly held a symposium on the photovoltaic industry to further regulate the competitive order within the sector.
According to the official statement from “Gongxin Weiba，” the meeting was attended by representatives from photovoltaic manufacturing enterprises， power generation companies， the China Photovoltaic Industry Association， and relevant local industrial and informational departments.
The meeting emphasized the critical importance of regulating the competitive order for the high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry and called for joint efforts to promote the healthy and sustainable growth of the sector.
Furthermore， the meeting outlined four specific requirements: first， to strengthen industrial regulation; second， to curb low-price， unordered competition; third， to standardize product quality; and fourth， to support industry self-discipline. This suggests a multi-pronged approach to address issues such as price dumping， quality concerns， and the need for stronger industry-led governance.
