Hanergy is a privately held Chinese multinational renewable energy company founded in 1994 by Li Hejun, headquartered in Beijing. It is active in solar, wind and hydropower generation. According to its own company literature, it is the world's largest thin-film solar power company.〔 The chairman and CEO is Li Hejun, previously ranked by Forbes magazine as the richest man in China until a plummeting stock price and subsequent regulatory investigation wiped billions of dollars off his net worth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=40090599 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=China's Richest Man Loses 15 Billion )〕 Hanergy was ranked No. 23 in the 2014 list of 50 Smartest Companies by ''MIT Technology Review'', noting "the Chinese energy company is snapping up advanced solar technologies at fire-sale prices."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.technologyreview.com/tr50/2014/ )〕 The company has since become infamous globally for its shocking stock implosion and subsequent unraveling, drawing comparison from some observers to the scandalous U.S. energy firm Enron.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/05/27/chinas-richest-man-might-have-been-running-a-massive-fraud/ )〕 On May 20, 2015, the firm's Thin Film shares were suspended after crashing by 47%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hanergy Thin Film Shares Suspended After Crashing By 47% )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 24-minute, $24b wipeout that halved Chinese billionaire's fortune )〕 On May 28, Hong Kong's market regulatory body, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) took the unusual step of publicly announcing an investigation into the company, after Hanergy Chairman Li Hejun vehemently denied the possibility in an interview aired by state-broadcaster Xinhua.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong Regulators Investigating Hanergy Thin Film Power )〕 Following this, on July 15, 2015, the SFC ordered suspension of all Hanergy shares, a move that prevented the firm from relisting on its own will.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong regulator orders suspension of all hanergy shares )〕 This announcement was promptly followed by Hanergy's own statement, saying that the SFC's requests for information about the financial viability of its unlisted parent company and the private loans of its largest shareholder, Li Hejun, were unreasonable and outside its powers to obtain. It stated it would appeal the decision and take legal action if necessary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hanergy thin film threatens HK regulator with legal action )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hanergy thin film says it can't produce documents for regulatory probe )〕 ==History== After its founding and successful foray into hydropower, Hanergy entered the thin-film solar industry in 2009. In 2012, Hanergy acquired US-based Miasolé for a reported $30 million. In 2012, Hanergy acquired Germany-based Q-Cells subsidiary Solibro. The CIGS panel manufacturer supplies small-scale rooftop PV systems, or "residential kits" that were sold by IKEA in the Netherlands, Switzerland and in the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://solibro-solar.com/en/company/about-us/ )〕 However, on November 1, 2015, IKEA announced that it would no longer be partnering with Hanergy on the project, dealing a blow to the firm's global ambitions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-02/hanergy-loses-contract-to-distribute-solar-systems-through-ikea )〕 In 2013, Hanergy acquired US-based Global Solar Energy. In 2014, Hanergy acquired US-based "Alta Devices". In late August 2015, the company announced that it would restructure and cut one-third of its work force, and in a Sep. 2015 speech commemorating the 21st anniversary of Hanergy, Li Hejun reportedly said the stock implosion and trading halt had caused him "huge" personal loss, and accused "short sellers" as being the only ones with anything to gain from the dilemma. Despite this, he encouraged employees and partners to have continued faith in Hanergy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hanergy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
