Summary
315,000 petaflops of computing power were in place in Inner Mongolia by May 2026, including 297,000 petaflops for AI workloads—about one-seventh of China’s total.
AI is driving the push: data centers used about 1.5% of global electricity in 2024, and the IEA projects their power consumption will more than double by 2030.
Horinger Data Center Cluster accounts for 291,000 petaflops, with local officials saying data centers there run on more than 80% green power.
Electricity makes up 60% to 70% of data-center operating costs, giving the region’s wind and solar resources a pricing edge in attracting operators and related manufacturers.
By 2030, Inner Mongolia plans to deepen its role in China’s national computing network, deploy about 50 large models and build 100 AI application scenarios.
