Tencent Greater Bay Area (Shaoguan) Intelligent Computing Centre is a data center project in Shaoguan, China, operated by Tencent (腾讯). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 30,000 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: moved to under construction on 18 December 2024. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Power arranged.
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 Tencent Greater Bay Area (Shaoguan) Intelligent Computing Centre 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.
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 Shaoguan Zhenjiang Industrial Park (韶关浈江产业园) alongside China Telecom Greater Bay Area Integrated Data Centre (Shaoguan). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The dated record runs from announced only on 8 May 2024 to under construction on 18 December 2024. The money on record is CN¥5bn as of December 2024, the announced investment. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling, with a design PUE of 1.24.
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 9 July 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
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.
Named an intelligent computing centre with 17.36kW average rack density. Shaoguan officials (May 2026) say Tencent 10,000-card clusters are due this year.
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.
