ArusGrid tracks 18 active data center projects in Zhongwei, China, with 3,558 MW of planned IT load. Of these, 5 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 3 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. Projects under construction or commissioning account for 699 MW and operational sites for 1,852 MW of planned capacity. Operators have disclosed 202 MW actually running, a figure most of them do not publish.
The largest project is China Gold Data Zhongwei Zero-Carbon Computing Base at 1,200 MW, operational and expanding. The operators with the most planned capacity here are China Gold Data Group (1,200 MW across 2 projects), Jinko Power (1,000 MW across 1 project) and Zhonglian Data Group (600 MW across 2 projects). No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Zhongwei, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
