China News Service reported on May 2 that China’s first largescale "computingpower and power coordination" green electricity direct supply project has officially begun operation in Zhongwei, Ningxia. The project was invested in and built by China Datang Ningxia Branch. Its first phase includes 500,000 kW of photovoltaic power and 1.5 million kW of wind power, aiming to provide green electricity support for the local computing power park.
The report noted that Zhongwei is one of the national hub nodes in China’s integrated national computing power network. It has relatively abundant new energy resources, with a high share of installed new energy capacity and a high utilization rate, giving it the basic conditions to promote "computingpower and power coordination." Through a "physical direct supply + bilateral trading" model, the project directly connects newly added data center load with dedicated transmission lines, while providing marketbased power trading solutions for existing load.
At present, the 500,000 kW photovoltaic portion has already been fully connected to the grid and is delivering electricity. The wind power portion is expected to achieve fullcapacity grid connection in September 2026. After Phase I of the project is fully operational, it is expected to meet about 2.29 billion kWh of electricity demand for Zhongwei Cloud Base each year. After the subsequent Phase II plan is completed, the total scale will be further expanded.
