On behalf 3 of the U.S. International Trade Commission, I welcome you to 4 this hearing on Investigation Nos. 701-511 and 731-1246, 5 1247, involving Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 6 Products from China and Taiwan. 7 The purpose of these investigations is to 8 determine whether an industry in the United States is 9 materially injured or threatened with material injury, by 10 reason of less than fair value imports from China and 11 Taiwan, and by reason of imports that are subsidized by the 12 government of China. 13 Documents concerning this hearing are 14 available at the public distribution table. Please give all 15 prepared testimony to the Secretary. Do not place it on the 16 public distribution table. All witnesses must be sworn in 17 by the Secretary before presenting testimony. 18 I understand that parties are aware of the 19 time allocations, but if you have any questions about time, 20 please ask the Secretary. Speakers are reminded not to 21 refer to business proprietary information in their remarks 22 or in answers to questions. Please speak clearly into the 23 microphones and state your name for the record, so that the 24 court reporter knows who is speaking. 25 If you are submitting documents that contain Ace‐Federal Reporters, Inc. 202‐347‐3700 10 1 information you wish classified as Business Confidential, 2 you're requested to comply with Commission Rule 201.6. 3 Finally, I note that the Chinese respondents and the 4 Taiwanese respondents ask that the Commission consider 5 extending the deadline for filing post-hearing briefs, or 6 give the parties an opportunity for supplemental briefing 7 after Commerce releases its final determinations on the 8 scope of these investigations. 9 We will not be revising the date for 10 submitting post-hearing briefs, which are still due to be 11 filed on December 15th, 2014. Once Commerce has issued its 12 final determination, the Commission will consider your 13 request for additional briefing opportunities. I would 14 support additional briefing opportunities, and I think 15 procedurally we could vote on that. Mr. Secretary, are 16 there any preliminary matters? 17 MR. BISHOP: Madam Chairman, there are no 18 preliminary matters. 19 CHAIRMAN BROADBENT: Very well. Let's now 20 proceed with opening remarks. 21 MR. BISHOP: Opening remarks on behalf of 22 Petitioner will be by Timothy C. Brightbill, Wiley Rein. 23 CHAIRMAN BROADBENT: Welcome, Mr. Brightbill. 24 OPENING REMARKS BY TIMOTHY C. BRIGHTBILL 25 MR. BRIGHTBILL: Good morning Chairman Ace‐Federal Reporters, Inc. 202‐347‐3700 11 1 Broadbent and Commissioners and staff. The U.S. industry is 2 here today to finish a job that we started more than three 3 years ago. As you are aware, SolarWorld first petitioned 4 the ITC for relief in the fall of 2011, in response to the 5 Government of China's systematic effort to dominate the 6 global solar manufacturing industry, using a combination of 7 state planning, billions of dollars of subsidies, massive 8 capacity additions and dumping, in order to capture sales 9 and market share. 10 In that case, the Commission unanimously found 11 that massive volumes of subject imports that undersold the 12 domestic like product produced product by substantial 13 margins, caused layoffs, shutdowns, severe financial harm 14 and other material injury to the U.S.

  • Calseia Annual Report 2016
    CALSEIA ANNUAL REPORT 2016 1 2 2016 SHIFTING BATTLE LINES From the historic razor-thin 3-2 CPUC vote to save Net Energy Metering in January to the proposed Time-of-Use rate structures that threaten to undermine the economics of solar, 2016 ushered in shifting battle lines for the California solar energy market that will define 2017 and beyond. This shift in approach to slowing down the solar market from NEM to rate structures makes the work of CALSEIA ever more important – not only our work to represent the industry in the most critical decision-making forums in the state, but our ability to quickly turn around and inform you about these changes. Further, the need to remove barriers and reduce soft costs are as important as ever. Through our permitting hotline as well as our interconnection teamwork at the CPUC, CALSEIA worked throughout the year to smooth the path forward and get our contractors out in the field building the state’s clean energy future. Then comes the work to build the opportunities of the future, which includes paving the way for storage to become mainstream and getting value from the capabilities of smart inverters. Winning individual battles is great. But there is still a war of words, ideas, and policies raging in California and nothing should be taken for granted. We are your public voice working to ensure that California’s solar policies remain strong, that you remain informed, and that solar energy is increasingly relied upon as the centerpiece of a modern energy system. On behalf of the CALSEIA Board of Directors and staff, we thank you for your ongoing support.
