According to According to the latest statistics from the IDC industry, a total of 50 project updates were collected in March 2025. These included 20 planned/preparatory projects, 11 projects under construction, 9 projects nearing completion, and 10 projects entering operation. In March, the construction of data centers in China continued at a high investment and fast pace, showing several significant trends:

1. “ “Intelligent Computing” becomes the absolute mainstream, with clear AI-driven characteristics

In March, the vast majority of newly signed, registered, approved, or commenced projects clearly pointed to "intelligent computing centers," "artificial intelligence computing power," or services for large model training and inference. This shows that meeting the needs of artificial intelligence development has become the core driving force of current computing power construction.

2.  PUE generally below 1.25

Many mentioned Projects mentioning PUE generally had a PUE value below 1.25, or even below 1.2. Emphasizing "green" attributes and actively utilizing renewable energy has become mainstream. Especially in energy-rich regions such as Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, the integrated development of "source-grid-load-storage" and wind and solar energy is being vigorously promoted. In addition, the application of innovative cooling technologies is being given attention, such as the use of LNG cold energy (Project 6) and advanced liquid cooling technologies, to reduce operating energy consumption.

3.  Hub aggregation and multi-point development

The hub nodes of the "East Digital, West Compute" project (such as Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai) continue to attract large-scale investment, Constructing ultra-large-scale data centers based on green energy Projects in eastern and economically developed regions (such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Anhui) are also active, Focusing on meeting the needs of local industrial digitalization, AI applications, and low-latency services (such as intelligent manufacturing, finance, and city brains) showing characteristics closely related to application scenarios. Some central and western provinces that are not traditional hub provinces (such as Shanxi, Hubei, and Sichuan) are also actively deploying, showing the widespread nature of computing power infrastructure construction.

4.  Large distribution of investment scale and computing power scale

Some projects still have huge investment amounts, ranging from hundreds of millions to tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of RMB. The planned computing power scale is huge, AI computing power often reaches thousands or even tens of thousands of P. The scale of physical infrastructure construction is considerable, involving a large number of cabinet deployments (thousands to tens of thousands) and a large building area. However, from the overall data, small-scale, small-computing power investments account for a larger proportion, with practical needs being the primary consideration.

5.  Diversification of investment entities and cooperation models

Telecommunication operators (Mobile, Telecom, Unicom) are still the main force, with widespread deployment nationwide. Local governments and state-owned asset platforms actively guide and participate in investment, especially in various high-tech zones and industrial parks. Professional data center service providers and large technology companies are deeply involved in investment, construction, and operation. Energy companies and industrial capital are entering the field, combining computing power construction with their own energy advantages or industrial applications.

In March 2025, the construction of China's computing power infrastructure continues to be in a period of rapid development. The construction of data centers requires a large amount of electricity support, The explosive growth of AI intelligent computing needs is the core driving force, Green, intensive, and large-scale development have become the basic requirements for construction . Geographically, there is both hub layout guided by national strategies and multi-point development close to market applications. Diversified investment entities and cooperation models are jointly driving this wave of construction, while technology is constantly evolving towards higher density and higher efficiency.

With the implementation of numerous projects, it will help to promote regional economic upgrading, promote the deep integration of culture and technology, promote industrial cluster development, create a new highland for the digital economy, and help industries move towards a new stage of more intelligent, efficient, and green development. As a strategic partner of telecommunications, Senke Chuangneng will actively seize new opportunities, Relying on experience in building uninterruptible power supply ( UPS) systems and energy storage solutions 的 rich experience, and products with excellent safety performance and high-rate discharge advantages, for data centers, smart grids, and other high-security applications ， provide more new productivity value 。
