Bank of Communications Horinger New Area Data Center (交通银行和林格尔新区数据中心) is a data center project in Horinger New Area, Hohhot, China, operated by Bank of Communications (交通银行). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 10,000 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: moved to under construction on 8 August 2024. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Money committed.
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.
Horinger and Hohhot holds 10 active projects with 298 MW of planned IT load between them, and Bank of Communications Horinger New Area Data Center (交通银行和林格尔新区数据中心) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 1 is under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 3 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Horinger and Hohhot, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Bank of Communications has 1 other in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Bank of Communications Gui'an Data Center. The named user of the compute is Bank of Communications (confirmed).
The dated record runs from announced only on 16 March 2023 to under construction on 8 August 2024. The money on record is CN¥5bn as of August 2024, the announced investment.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in China, as of 7 October 2026, is recorded as “Licence required, presumption of denial, case-by-case review for H200-class chips since 15 January 2026”. ArusGrid holds 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 23 March 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
A bank's own-use data centre. No AI purpose is stated.
A party to this project (its operator, that operator's group, a funder, or a confirmed client) is headquartered in China or Macau or has an ultimate parent there. US rules require a licence for advanced AI chips destined to such entities wherever they are located. This describes the rule and says nothing about whether a licence was sought, granted or refused. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.
