SHANGHAI, October 21 (Xinhua) — China announced on Tuesday the completion of the world's first underwater data center powered by wind energy. The project, located in the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone in eastern China, has become a benchmark for green computing infrastructure development.
The total investment in this project, with an installed capacity of 24 MW, amounted to 1.6 billion yuan (about 226 million US dollars), according to the Lingang New District administration.
Over 95 percent of the electricity used by the underwater data center is generated from renewable energy sources. Compared to traditional land-based data centers, their underwater counterpart reduces energy consumption by 22.8 percent, while also reducing water use and land area by 100 percent and 90 percent, respectively.
The Lingang New District Administration announced that the completion of the new project marks a breakthrough in the integrated development of an underwater data center and offshore renewable energy. The project provides an important example of green and low-carbon computing infrastructure development and the local utilization of offshore wind energy.
