The world's first prefabricated computing power center base officially began operation on Saturday in Qingdao City, east China's Shandong Province, designed to offer a more efficient and low-carbon solution for computing infrastructure construction.
Acting as the energy hub and "heart" of a computing center, the prefabricated design provides a base that can slash computing infrastructure construction time by nearly 70 percent compared to traditional methods and provides a stable and continuous power supply critical to the facility's overall performance.
The base measures about 53 meters long and 41 meters wide, covering roughly 2,200 square meters. Compared with conventional designs, it reduces land use by over 30 percent and cuts overall costs by 20 percent.
Beyond faster and cheaper deployment, the base supports direct access to green electricity, achieving 100 percent green power consumption. This is anticipated to lower electricity costs by around 30 percent per token.
The newly erected structure in Qingdao has already been connected to an enterprise-owned data center. The design is set to be rolled out in national-level data center clusters and various regional computing hubs in the second half of this year, providing a stable, efficient, low-carbon, and easily replicable model for future computing infrastructure projects.
