Summary
Envision Group has brought its Galaxy Campus online in Ulanqab, centered on a 120,000-square-metre AI data centre built to support China’s AI expansion.
The campus is designed for more than 2 gigawatts of power capacity and up to 1 million AI accelerators, putting it among the world’s largest AI computing facilities.
Ulanqab’s cheap wind power and cool climate are driving the project, turning a pastureland economy once known for livestock and potatoes into a base for AI infrastructure.
At that scale, the site would exceed the projected 1.5-gigawatt IT power capacity of Colossus 2, the US AI data centre run by Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI, according to Epoch AI.
