Polysilicon prices have grown by around 14% since the beginning of May. Last week’s average polysilicon strike price jumped 4% sequentially to RMB287/kg (US$42.81/kg, inclusive of China’s 13% sales tax), according to data provided by industry analysts PVInfoLink and Energy Trend.

Xinjiang Daqo meanwhile announced last week it completed a private offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange that generated gross proceeds of RMB11 billion (US$1.64 billion). The company previously said it would use proceeds to support a polysilicon expansion project in China’s Inner Mongolia region.

Daqo New Energy’s gross profit reached US$813.6 million during Q1 2022 as its polysilicon sales volumes jumped more than threefold on the prior quarter and it benefited from a fall in production costs.
