Huashao Data Valley (华韶数据谷) is a data center project in Shaoguan, China, operated by Guangdong Huashao Digital Intelligence Technology (广东华韶数智科技). It is operational. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 50,000 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: moved to operational in 2022. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.
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.
Shaoguan holds 11 active projects with 200 MW of planned IT load between them, and Huashao Data Valley (华韶数据谷) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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.
Huashao has 1 other in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Chongqing Huashao Intelligent Computing Center. It sits on the Huangshaping Innovation Park, Guanshaocheng (莞韶城黄沙坪创新园). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Phase 1 is operational with a 2022 target; Phase 2, 19,992 standard racks is announced. The dated record runs from under construction on 23 September 2019 to operational in 2022. The money on record is CN¥6.5bn as of September 2019, 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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 May 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Phase 2 plans racks up to 40kW. Shaoguan officials (May 2026) list a Huashao 10,000-card cluster as in production.
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.
The figure covers the whole campus.
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.
