This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

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.

China, 2026-10-12. China coverage is a pilot of one cluster, Zhongwei in Ningxia, entered on 12 October 2026 from Chinese-language primary and state press sources. Other Chinese hubs are not yet covered, so no China total here describes the country. Many Chinese projects publish rack counts and no megawatts. ArusGrid records the rack count and leaves capacity blank rather than convert it.

Where it sits

Ulanqab holds 18 active projects with 1,262 MW of planned IT load between them, and UCloud Ulanqab Intelligent Computing Centre (优刻得乌兰察布智算中心) ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 4 are operational and expanding, 1 is under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 7 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Ulanqab, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only UCloud project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the UCloud Ulanqab campus. Named users of the compute are 秘塔科技 (Metaso), 科大讯飞 (iFlytek), 达观数据 (Datagrand), 仟传科技 and 出门问问 (Mobvoi) (reported, unconfirmed).

The build is phased. Buildings A to C at 62 MW is operational; Buildings D and E is under construction. The stage was recorded as operational and expanding on 18 June 2026. Power comes from UCloud (self-built substation) through a dedicated substation at 110 kV. Cooling uses immersion cooling.

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 13 public sources for this project, the latest dated 14 October 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.

AI workloads

StatusConfirmed

The operator calls it an intelligent computing centre and runs AI inference capacity there; rack utilisation was over 95% at 30 June 2026.

Access to AI chips

GradeLicence required for a party

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.

US licence required for this destination as enforcedYes
A party headquartered in China or Macau on the projectYes
Country-level export frameworkNo
A party named in a government authorisationNo
US approved operator or confirmed client on the projectNo
Named chip-vendor partnershipNo

Main contractor中建-大成建筑有限责任公司 (China State Construction Dacheng) · Jul 2026 Reported source ↗
Civil and MEP general contract (土建+机电总承包) for Building D of the Ulanqab intelligent computing centre, about 29,000 sqm of floor area. Seen through the contractor's own subcontract procurement notices (cladding in Jul 2026, precision air conditioning in Aug 2026).
Power supply
Grid supplyJun 2026 Reported source ↗
Large-industrial power costs 0.47 to 0.48 yuan per kWh and can drop to 0.43 yuan or less through green direct supply and market trading. · Dual grid feeds with 14 power rooms. Backup is 12 Cummins diesel generators of 1,800 kW each at 10.5 kV. That backup total of 21.6 MW is our arithmetic, not an IT load. · Applies to the whole campus.
