flag China launches world’s first wind-powered underwater data center in Shanghai, using seawater cooling and offshore wind to cut energy use and boost efficiency.

flag China has completed the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center in Shanghai’s Lin-gang Special Area, a 24-megawatt facility running on over 95% green electricity, cutting energy use by 22.8% and eliminating land and water use. flag Using seawater for cooling, it reduces cooling energy from 40–50% to under 10%, achieving a PUE of 1.15—exceeding China’s 2025 target. flag The project integrates offshore wind power from the East China Sea and supports Shanghai’s goal to reach 200 EFLOPS in computing capacity by 2027. flag A larger 500-megawatt UDC project is underway with multiple Chinese firms.
