Daqo Announces Investment Agreement to Establish Polysilicon and Silicon Metal Project to Integrate Upstream Supply</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">Shanghai, China&mdash;December 13, 2023&mdash;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 its subsidiary Xinjiang Daqo has signed an investment agreement to
create a silicon-based new materials industrial park. Located in Shihezi, China, the project covers two phases. The first phase of the
project consists of 150,000MT of silicon metal production, 50,000MT of polysilicon, and 1.2 million pieces of silicon seed rod, with an
anticipated investment of approximately RMB7.5 billion. The second phase of the project consists of 150,000MT of silicon metal production,
50,000MT of polysilicon, and 1.0 million pieces of silicon seed rod, with an anticipated investment of approximately RMB7.5 billion. The
implementation of this project, as well as its construction and completion time, is contingent upon market conditions, Xinjiang Daqo&rsquo;s
shareholder approval, as well as relevant government filings and approvals, including energy consumption approval. Based on the agreement,
the project is expected to receive green electricity as well as renewable energy green power certificates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Xiang Xu, CEO of Daqo New Energy, commented,
 &ldquo;We are delighted to announce our latest expansion plan that will allow us to leverage Shihezi&rsquo;s advantages in rich natural
resources and attractive electricity rates that are unmatched by any other location. In particular, the silicon metal project is strategically
important to the Company&rsquo;s ability to deliver sustainable growth. Integrating our upstream supply will enhance our competitive advantages
in cost and quality, as well as minimize raw materials price fluctuations. Furthermore, with the ability to oversee and control the upstream
process, we will be able to satisfy our supply chain due diligence and traceability requirements, which we believe are key to our future
competitiveness. After the completion of both phases, the Company expects to produce all silicon metal raw material that it needs. We
are confident that the upstream supply chain integration will enable us to capture additional market opportunities and strengthen our
leadership position in the polysilicon industry.&rdquo;</P>
