Chindata Zhongwei zero-carbon AI campuses (three) is a data center project in Zhongwei, China, operated by Chindata (北京秦淮数据有限公司). It has been announced and has not yet reached the land or permitting stage. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Latest change on record: entered the record as announced on 19 August 2025. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Land secured.
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 Chindata Zhongwei zero-carbon AI campuses (three) 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.
Chindata has 4 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Chindata Huanshoudu Huailai Headquarters Base (秦淮数据环首都·怀来总部基地), Chindata Shaoguan Computing Cluster (秦淮数据韶关算力集群项目) and Chindata Qingyang Zero-Carbon Data Centre Industrial Base (秦淮数据零碳数据中心产业基地). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as announced only on 19 August 2025. The money on record is CN¥24bn as of August 2025, 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 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 16 January 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
One or two hard signals sit behind the announcement. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Stated purpose is AI computing (智算).
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.
