The latest reading was a sharp growth from a year earlier when the figure stood at around US$1B.

Of the total amount, US$1.8B were absorbed in the solar power generation areas, up 105% from the previous year, while wind power-related shipments expanded 37%.

Meanwhile, the ministry said that 80 local companies in solar and wind power generation businesses have won new orders amounting to US$8.25B during the period, which is 6.8 times the amount marked a year ago. —Paul A. Ebeling, Jnr. www.livetradingnews.com
