This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
Chongqing holds 10 active projects with 0 MW of planned IT load between them, and Tencent Western Cloud Computing Data Center has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 6 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 2 are under construction and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Chongqing, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Tencent has 5 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Tencent Gui'an Qixing Data Center, Tencent Huailai Dongyuan Cloud Data Centre (腾讯怀来东园云数据中心) and Tencent Huailai Ruibei Cloud Data Centre (腾讯怀来瑞北云数据中心). It sits on the Liangjiang New Area campus. Named users of the compute are Changan Automobile and Chongqing e-government cloud platform (reported, unconfirmed).
The build is phased. Phase 1, 100,000 servers is operational with a 2018 target; Phase 2, total 200,000 servers is commissioning with a 2022 target. The dated record runs from operational in June 2018 to operational and expanding in April 2020. The money on record is CN¥4.5bn as of February 2022, the announced investment. Power comes from State Grid Chongqing through a dedicated substation at 220 kV.
