Yingli sets supply deal for French plant

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co said it would sell 33 megawatts of solar modules to a Spanish construction company that will build France's largest photovoltaic power plant.

The plant to be built in Curbans, France will be owned by GDF Suez Group and is expected to produce 43.5 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy each year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 14,500 households.
