DeepSeek is developing a massive datacenter in inner Mongolia to be around 1-gigawatt.

Ulanqab is a major hub under China’s “East Data, West Computing” (东数西算) strategy. It offers low average temperatures (reducing cooling costs and enabling low PUE targets below ~1.2), abundant/cheap power (including a high share of renewables), and existing large-scale computing infrastructure.

ZAI the Chinese artificial intelligence company formerly known as Zhipu already has its own 1 GW facility as well.

Where as you remember guys, 1GW is the power capacity is roughly equivalent to the electricity required to supply 750,000 homes at any given moment. China’s energy and talent abundance does give it some structural advantages over some other countries.
