BEIJING, June 7 (Reuters) - China's Longi Green Energy Technology, one of the world's largest solar panel manufacturers, said on Friday that some of its plants in Southeast Asia that had been reported closed by media outlets are still in operation.

While not specifying which media reports it was referring to, it said its plants in Malaysia and component plants in Vietnam are in operation.

It said production at a battery plant in Vietnam had been suspended, and that it would conduct an evaluation based on the market situation in making further decisions.

The production halt in Vietnam will have a relatively small impact on the company's operating performance, with the battery capacity in Vietnam accounting for less than 10% of the company's total in 2023, it said. (Reporting by Amy Lv and Colleen Howe)
