“ To address the intermittency of renewable energy, we are developing a more intelligent power-compute orchestration system,” he says.“ By dynamically matching compute workloads with real-time power generation profiles, and deploying large-scale energy storage at the campus level, we can smooth out renewable fluctuations and maximise green power utilisation.
The ambition, Mr Wu explains, goes“ far beyond operating a few efficient facilities”. Instead, Chindata Group’ s goal is to build a sustainable computing backbone that will power the future of AI.“ We are scaling liquid-cooling adoption and optimising energy efficiency from the chip level all the way to the campus level. In doing so, we are not just users of advanced technology, we are helping define the standards and best practices for green computing infrastructure,” he says.
“ We operate major clusters that serve as digital engines powering regional economic growth and industrial transformation”
Mr Wu Huapeng, CEO, Chindata Group
While sustainability is a necessity for the kind of infrastructure needed to support modern AI applications, it has also been at the heart of Chindata Group since its early days. As early as 2020, the company set an ambitious goal to power all next-generation hyperscale data centres in China with 100 % renewable energy by 2030, becoming one of the first in Asia to join the global RE100 initiative.
