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.

China, 2026-10-12. China coverage is a pilot of one cluster, Zhongwei in Ningxia, entered on 12 October 2026 from Chinese-language primary and state press sources. Other Chinese hubs are not yet covered, so no China total here describes the country. Many Chinese projects publish rack counts and no megawatts. ArusGrid records the rack count and leaves capacity blank rather than convert it.

Where it sits

Huailai holds 8 active projects with 1,294 MW of planned IT load between them, and Tencent Huailai Ruibei Cloud Data Centre (腾讯怀来瑞北云数据中心) 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.

Tencent has 5 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Tencent Western Cloud Computing Data Center, Tencent Gui'an Qixing Data Center and Tencent Huailai Dongyuan Cloud Data Centre (腾讯怀来东园云数据中心). It sits on the Tencent Huailai Ruibei, Huailai County campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The dated record runs from under construction in March 2020 to operational and expanding on 19 February 2022.

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 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 24 February 2022, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

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.

Who uses the compute

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

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for China, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
