Ulanqab Draws AI Data Centers With Renewable Power and Room to Scale

Ulanqab, a city in China’s Inner Mongolia region, is attracting large AI data center projects with its cool climate, wind and solar resources, and access to Beijing. Envision commissioned its Galaxy Campus there in August, with plans for the campus to scale beyond 2 gigawatts. The buildout reflects China’s effort to place computing infrastructure in regions with available land and energy, while connecting it to demand from major cities. Alibaba, Huawei, Apple and DeepSeek have also built computing infrastructure in Ulanqab, and local authorities set out a three-year green-computing plan in 2025 for AI training and inference (regional industry overview).
