China Mobile YRD (Wuhu) Data Centre (中国移动长三角（芜湖）数据中心) is a data center project in Wuhu, China, operated by China Mobile Anhui (中国移动安徽公司). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 7,815 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 17 October 2024. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.

Your call. Will it be built?
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.
Wuhu holds 6 active projects with 298 MW of planned IT load between them, and China Mobile YRD (Wuhu) Data Centre (中国移动长三角（芜湖）数据中心) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are operational and expanding and 4 are under construction. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Wuhu, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
China Mobile has 11 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park B, China Mobile (Gansu Qingyang) Data Center and China Mobile Hohhot Data Center. It sits on the Jiangbei New Area industrial concentration zone (江北新区产业集中区) campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 17 October 2024. The money on record is CN¥6bn as of October 2024, the announced investment.
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 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 19 September 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
How well evidenced is it
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.

AI workloads
StatusLikely
Planned for 22 EFLOPS of compute with 1,278 AI racks at 40kW each (Oct 2024).
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

Planned MW is IT load, the power available to servers, unless marked otherwise. Running capacity is rarely published, so a missing figure means undisclosed.
