China builds world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre
China has completed the construction of the world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre project in east China’s Shanghai Municipality on Tuesday.
It is setting a benchmark for the green development of computing infrastructure.
Located in the Lin-gang Special Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, the UDC project received an investment of ¥1.6 billion (about $226 million).
It has a total power capacity of 24 megawatts, according to the administrative committee of the Lin-gang Special Area.
Compared to traditional land-based data centres, the project was designed to use over 95 per cent green electricity, reducing power consumption by 22.8 per cent, and water and land use by 100 per cent and over 90 per cent, respectively.
The administrative committee said the completion of the project marked a breakthrough in the integrated development of UDC and offshore renewable energy.
It provided a demonstration for the green and low-carbon development of computing infrastructure and for the local consumption of offshore wind power.
