China has completed the first phase of the underwater data center (UDC) development in Lin-gang, Shanghai, with a capacity of 2.3 MW. This UDC utilizes offshore wind power and seawater cooling for more sustainable operations. The project is expected to reduce cooling costs by around 10% compared to conventional data centers, supporting the processing target of 200 exaFLOPS by 2027. The initiative is in line with efforts to make Shanghai a smart city and support China’s government initiatives to decrease energy and water consumption in digital operations. With a cost of RMB 1.6 billion, the project in Lin-gang, Shanghai, uses electricity generated by a 24 MW offshore wind turbine. The cooling system solely relies on seawater, reducing the dependence on freshwater. This development marks a significant step towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient digital infrastructure in China.
