Chinese engineers have switched on the world’s first underwater data center powered by offshore wind, off the coast of Shanghai in the Lin-hang Special Area.
The facility has 192 server racks across four levels, uses seawater for cooling instead of freshwater, and its copper-pipe heat exchange system reportedly cuts electricity use by 22.8%. Offshore wind is expected to supply 95% of its power.
It now runs at 2.3 MW, with planned capacity of 24 MW.
