China launches world's first offshore wind-powered underwater data center

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

China has launched the world's first offshore wind-powered underwater data center, located near Shanghai. This 24-megawatt facility houses nearly 2,000 servers and utilizes the surrounding ocean water for passive cooling, achieving a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) below 1.15. The project aims to process AI, big data annotation, and 5G workloads while addressing the growing energy and cooling demands of modern data infrastructure. AI

IMPACT Addresses critical AI infrastructure challenges by offering a novel, energy-efficient cooling and power solution for data centers.

RANK_REASON This is a significant infrastructure development as it is the first of its kind globally.
