China Telecom Wuhu Cluster Big Data Centre and YRD (Wuhu) Intelligent Computing Centre (中国电信芜湖集群大数据中心暨长三角（芜湖）智算中心) is a data center project in Wuhu, China, operated by China Telecom (中国电信). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 80,000 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 25 July 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.
Wuhu holds 6 active projects with 298 MW of planned IT load between them, and China Telecom Wuhu Cluster Big Data Centre and YRD (Wuhu) Intelligent Computing Centre (中国电信芜湖集群大数据中心暨长三角（芜湖）智算中心) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are operational and expanding, 3 are under construction and 1 is at the land and permitting stage. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Wuhu, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
China Telecom has 12 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Telecom Smart Cloud Base, Huailai Park (中国电信智云基地怀来园区), China Telecom Smart Cloud Base, Zhangbei Park (中国电信智慧云基地张北园区) and China Telecom Qingyang Computing Center. It sits on the Jiangbei park of the YRD (Wuhu) Intelligent Computing Centre, Jiangbei New Area. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 25 July 2024. The money on record is CN¥10.8bn as of July 2024, 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 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 15 April 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.
Project is named as an intelligent computing centre (智算中心) and was added to the Wuhu cluster compute platform in Sep 2025.
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.
Licence required, presumption of denial, case-by-case review for H200-class chips since 15 January 2026 · Licence required, presumption of denial, case-by-case review for H200-class chips since 15 January 2026 (2026-10-07) source
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.
