Gansu to speed up data cluster projects

The Gansu provincial government has pledged to accelerate the launch and operational efficiency of key projects in the Qingyang data center cluster in 2026, with total computing power capacity expected to exceed 150,000 petaflops, according to the government work report delivered by provincial governor Ren Zhenhe at the opening meeting of the fourth session of the 14th Gansu Provincial People's Congress on Tuesday.

Qingyang, a city in Northwest China's Gansu province, is rapidly emerging as a national front-runner in computing power development, with its intelligent computing capacity surpassing 100,000 petaflops by the end of 2025 — an important milestone under China's "eastern data, western computing" initiative.

Since the national initiative was launched in February 2024, Qingyang, as one of eight national computing hubs, has leveraged its energy resources, geographic advantages and coordinated policy support to accelerate the construction of large-scale computing infrastructure and foster a complete digital industry chain.
