Supply Agreement with LONGi Green Energy</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">April 2, 2018, CHONGQING, China -- Daqo
New Energy Corp. (NYSE: DQ) (&quot;Daqo New Energy&quot;, the &quot;Company&quot; or &ldquo;we&rdquo;), a leading manufacturer
of high-purity polysilicon for the global solar PV industry, today announced that it has signed a 32-month 39,600 MT ultra-high-quality
polysilicon supply agreement with LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (&ldquo;LONGi&rdquo;), the world's leading mono-crystalline
solar products manufacturer with 15GW of mono-crystalline wafer capacity and 6.5GW of mono-crystalline module capacity in 2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Under the terms of the supply agreement,
Daqo New Energy will supply LONGi with 39,600 MT of ultra-high-quality polysilicon starting from April 2018 through the end of
2020, for use in the production of high-end mono-crystalline solar products. As part of the supply agreement, LONGi will make an
advance payment on the ultra-high-quality polysilicon to Daqo New Energy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Baoshen Zhong, Chairman of LONGi, commented,
&quot;Daqo New Energy&rsquo;s polysilicon meets the stringent purity requirements we have for the production of high-efficiency
mono-crystalline solar products. This supply agreement with Daqo New Energy will allow us to expand production capacity of our
high-efficiency mono-crystalline solar products to meet the growing demand from our downstream customers. Daqo New Energy&rsquo;s
ultra-high-quality polysilicon and reliability make them the ideal strategic supplier, and we look forward building a deeper partnership
with them.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Longgen Zhang, Chief Executive Officer
of Daqo New Energy, commented, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m pleased that we have signed this long-term supply agreement with LONGi, the world&rsquo;s
leading mono-crystalline solar products manufacturer and one of China&rsquo;s top-tier solar manufacturers. Chinese solar manufacturers
rely heavily on foreign imports of polysilicon. Daqo is one of the very few Chinese polysilicon producers who can produce ultra-high-quality
polysilicon domestically. I believe bringing LONGi on board as a strategic long-term customer demonstrates our reputation as a
reliable and preferred supplier of high-quality polysilicon. I look forward to working closely with LONGi to further improve our
ability to serve the growing demand for high-end mono-crystalline grade polysilicon.&rdquo;</P>
