BAODING, China, July 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited ("Yingli" or "Yingli Solar") YGE, one of the world's leading solar panel manufacturers, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited ("Yingli China") was selected to develop and construct a 50 megawatt (MW)  solar power plant in Datong City, Shanxi Province, China.

Over 35 companies applied for the rights to develop and construct the 100 MW projects, and over 20 companies applied for the rights to develop and construct the 50 MW projects. Yingli was selected to develop and construct one of the 50 MW projects.

"We are pleased to be selected for this high-profile demonstration power plant.  With our strong track record of success in solar PV power plant development and construction, Yingli will make an ideal partner for the new PV demonstration center," commented Mr. Gang Wang, Vice President of Project Development of Yingli.
