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.
Shaoguan holds 11 active projects with 200 MW of planned IT load between them, and Chindata Shaoguan Computing Cluster (秦淮数据韶关算力集群项目) ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 3 are under construction, 1 is being commissioned and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Shaoguan, 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 Qingyang Zero-Carbon Data Centre Industrial Base (秦淮数据零碳数据中心产业基地) and Chindata Jining Intelligent Computing Centre, Ulanqab (秦淮数据集宁智算中心). It sits on the Chindata Shaoguan campus. Named funding comes from China Development Bank (new policy financial instrument, 136 million yuan equity) on the equity side. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as announced only on 1 October 2026. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling, with a design PUE of 1.2.
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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 1 October 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
The city says the project mainly serves large-model training and inference.
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.
