China Telecom Yangkou Port

The China Telecom Yangkou Port project, also known as the China Telecom Yangtze River Delta Computing Hub, is a significant initiative with a planned investment of 30 billion yuan ($4.4 billion). This large-scale green intelligent computing hub will feature an IT scale exceeding 200 megawatts. Yangkou Port was chosen for its strategic advantages, including abundant clean energy resources such as offshore wind, solar photovoltaics, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold energy, alongside ample land reserves, making it an ideal location for sustainable computing infrastructure. The project aligns with China's national 'East Data, West Computing' strategy. China Telecom Jiangsu Branch will contribute its extensive operational expertise in cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, computing networks, and data security, supported by advanced technologies like the national integrated big data center framework, the Xirang computing power scheduling platform, and the Xingchen large model system. The initiative aims to construct high-standard, green intelligent computing centers, foster regional computing facility clustering, and establish a benchmark for renewable energy consumption and efficient utilization in the Yangtze River Delta. Beyond infrastructure, the project will integrate data from government agencies, industry, and public services, supporting AI applications in smart ports, industrial parks, and manufacturing, thereby enhancing city management and accelerating AI adoption across local industries.
