Chindata Qingyang Zero-Carbon Data Centre Industrial Base (秦淮数据零碳数据中心产业基地) is a data center project in Qingyang (East Data West Computing industrial park), China, operated by Chindata Group (秦淮数据). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 3,800 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.

Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 23 February 2023. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.

Next gate to watch: Power arranged.

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 Chindata Qingyang Zero-Carbon Data Centre Industrial Base (秦淮数据零碳数据中心产业基地) 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.

Chindata has 4 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Chindata Huanshoudu Huailai Headquarters Base (秦淮数据环首都·怀来总部基地), Chindata Shaoguan Computing Cluster (秦淮数据韶关算力集群项目) and Chindata Jining Intelligent Computing Centre, Ulanqab (秦淮数据集宁智算中心). It sits on the Chindata Qingyang campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as under construction on 23 February 2023. The money on record is CN¥770m as of March 2023, 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 28 November 2024, 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.

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.
