Summary
Ulanqab has signed 109 computing-center projects worth more than 700 billion yuan, built 720,000 server racks and lifted computing capacity to 190,000 petaflops, with intelligent computing making up over 90%.
0.32 yuan per kilowatt-hour electricity, roughly 80% green power, a long natural-cooling season and a 1-hour-50-minute rail link to Beijing have helped turn the Inner Mongolia city into a key supplier of computing power.
300 megawatts of wind and solar capacity plus 45 megawatts of storage at Centrin Data's zero-carbon base show how operators are cutting costs and stabilizing supply with direct renewable power.
22 projects are still under construction in the high-tech zone, while companies spanning server cabinets, data labeling and technical services have created more than 10,000 cumulative job opportunities.
Backed by China's 2022 Eastern Data, Western Computing push, Ulanqab is now trying to move beyond hosting servers into AI applications and a planned 2026-2028 'Token Capital' ecosystem.
