China unveils world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre

The pioneering project in Shanghai sets a new standard for sustainable digital infrastructure

China has completed construction of the world’s first wind-powered Underwater Data Centre (UDC) in Shanghai. According to China Daily, a partner of TV BRICS, the facility is located in the Lin-gang Special Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

Backed by an investment of approximately US$226 million, the UDC boasts a total power capacity of 24 megawatts. Unlike traditional land-based data centres, it is designed to run on over 95 per cent green electricity and significantly reduce resource use.

The new UDC is expected to cut power consumption by 22.8 per cent, eliminate water usage entirely, and reduce land use by more than 90 per cent. These figures highlight the project's potential to revolutionise data centre sustainability.

Officials say the development represents a breakthrough in integrating underwater computing with offshore renewable energy. It also serves as a model for localised use of offshore wind power and low-carbon digital infrastructure.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"
