Next gate to watch: Power arranged.
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.
Huailai holds 8 active projects with 1,294 MW of planned IT load between them, and Aofei Data Hebei Huailai Data Centre (奥飞数据河北怀来数据中心项目) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding and 1 is under construction. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Huailai, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only Aofei Data project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Aofei Data Huailai project campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 30 June 2026.
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”.

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.
No public signal either way.
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.

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.
