Next gate to watch: Land secured.

Your call. Will it be built?

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.

China, 2026-10-12. China coverage is a pilot of one cluster, Zhongwei in Ningxia, entered on 12 October 2026 from Chinese-language primary and state press sources. Other Chinese hubs are not yet covered, so no China total here describes the country. Many Chinese projects publish rack counts and no megawatts. ArusGrid records the rack count and leaves capacity blank rather than convert it.

Where it sits

Ulanqab holds 18 active projects with 1,262 MW of planned IT load between them, and Zhonglian Yungang Jining Intelligent Computing Centre, Ulanqab (中联云港集宁智算中心) 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 Zhonglian Yungang project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Jining District campus alongside Chindata Jining Intelligent Computing Centre, Ulanqab (秦淮数据集宁智算中心) and Huayi Yunlian Jining Intelligent Computing Centre, Ulanqab (华一云联集宁智算中心). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 16 September 2026.

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 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 October 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

Planned as a high-specification intelligent computing (智算) centre. No AI tenant named.

Access to AI chips

GradeLicence required for a party

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.

US licence required for this destination as enforcedYes
A party headquartered in China or Macau on the projectYes
Country-level export frameworkNo
A party named in a government authorisationNo
US approved operator or confirmed client on the projectNo
Named chip-vendor partnershipNo

Who uses the compute

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

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.

Build, land, power and water
Nothing found in public sources yet. Most contractors and utilities never name their data centre clients. Know who built it or where its power comes from? Tell us.
