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.
Zhongwei holds 18 active projects with 3,558 MW of planned IT load between them, and AWS China (Ningxia) Region data centres, Zhongwei has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 5 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 3 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Zhongwei, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Amazon has 2 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including AWS Airoli and AWS Powai. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The dated record runs from operational on 14 December 2017 to operational on 17 March 2026. The money on record is US$2.5bn as of September 2023, 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 17 March 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
