China: centralized rules for data center efficiency

Like the US and Europe, China is striving for leadership in AI, while advancing digitization of its society. This demands the rapid development of energy-intensive computing resources.

China has set a target of reaching carbon neutrality by 2060 (with peak emissions by 2030). Operators are being encouraged to develop conventional data centers and AI facilities, but will be required to limit their environmental impact under policies demanding increased energy efficiency, lower PUE levels, greater use of renewable energy and reuse of resources.
