CICC Data Ulanqab Low-Carbon Computing Base is a data center project in Ulanqab, China, operated by China Financial Data Group (中金数据集团). It is operational and expanding. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 25,000 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: moved to expanding on 16 August 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 16 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.
Ulanqab holds 18 active projects with 1,262 MW of planned IT load between them, and CICC Data Ulanqab Low-Carbon Computing Base has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 4 are operational, 4 are operational and expanding, 1 is under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 7 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Ulanqab, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
CICC Data has 1 other in China tracked by ArusGrid, including CICC Data Horinger Zero-Carbon Computing Base (中金数据和林格尔零碳算力基地项目). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The build is phased. Phase 1 is operational; Phase 2 is under construction with a 2027 target. The dated record runs from under construction in 2023 to operational and expanding on 16 August 2026. The money on record is CN¥9.1bn as of July 2025, the announced investment. Power comes from 中金数据 源网荷储一体化项目 (黄茂营风光储电站) through a renewable power purchase agreement (reported, unconfirmed).
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 12 October 2026, and last checked the record on 16 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
No public signal either way.
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.
