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 China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park A 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.
China Mobile has 11 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park B, China Mobile (Gansu Qingyang) Data Center and China Mobile Hohhot Data Center. It sits on the China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center campus alongside China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park B and China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Xuanhe Park. Named users of the compute are Meituan, Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent (reported, unconfirmed).
The build is phased. Phase 1 (A park) is operational with a 2024 target; Phase 2 is under construction with a 2025 target.
