The company reached an agreement [yesterday/on Thursday/today/on Friday] with wafer manufacturer MEMC Electronic Materials, headquartered in Missouri USA, for the supply of wafers valued between US$ 7 and 8 billion up to 2018. With this the Hamburg company secures an important share of its long-term raw material requirements for the fully integrated solar power plant in Frankfurt (Oder) and positions itself for continuing further growth. In particular, the agreement specifies that MEMC will supply Conergy with wafers from July 2008. The volume of deliveries will increase every twelve months. The agreed prices will decline steadily over the period of the agreement so that, in spite of the expected reduction in price for solar energy systems, Conergy will be able to achieve a normal manufacturer´s margin.
