Northwest Zero-Carbon Smart Cloud Intelligent Computing Center Phase 1 is a data center project in Qingyang, China, operated by Chaosuan Digital Technology (Gansu) (超算数字科技(甘肃)有限公司). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 31,680 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.

Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 28 February 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.

Your call. Will it be built?

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

Qingyang holds 8 active projects with 395 MW of planned IT load between them, and Northwest Zero-Carbon Smart Cloud Intelligent Computing Center Phase 1 has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational and expanding, 4 are under construction and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Qingyang, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only Chaosuan Digital Technology project ArusGrid tracks. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as under construction on 28 February 2026. The money on record is CN¥2.58bn as of March 2026, 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 1 April 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

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.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

The design provides room for more than 7,400 GPU servers and targets 35,300 P of intelligent compute. No deployment is confirmed.

Access to AI chips

GradeLicence required for a party

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.

US licence required for this destination as enforcedYes
A party headquartered in China or Macau on the projectYes
Country-level export frameworkNo
A party named in a government authorisationNo
US approved operator or confirmed client on the projectNo
Named chip-vendor partnershipNo
