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 GDS Ulanqab GW-class green-power data centre cluster (万国数据乌兰察布GW级绿电直连数据中心集群) 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.
It is the only GDS project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the GDS Ulanqab campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as announced only on 3 June 2026. The money on record is CN¥30bn as of June 2026, the announced investment. Power comes from Not named through a green tariff.
