TL;DR - Chinese renewable-energy company Envision (远景科技) brought its Ulanqab "Galaxy Base" (星河基地) online on Aug 6, 2026, unveiling what it calls the world's largest single-building AI compute block — a signal that power, storage, and thermal engineering, not just chips, now gate GW-scale AI buildout.

  • The facility spans 120,000+ m² inside a campus planned for 2GW capacity, targeting million-accelerator parallelism and million-P-scale compute; site chosen for Ulanqab's wind/solar resources (67% green power region-wide) with dedicated wind farms and direct transmission lines into the DC.
  • To convert intermittent renewables into steady "compute-grade" power, Envision runs a predict–dispatch–execute loop: the 天机 weather foundation model forecasts wind/solar output, the 天枢 energy model optimizes allocation against generation, storage, load and price, and the EnOS IoT layer actuates turbines, BESS and DC gear while feeding telemetry back; battery storage buffers green power to GPUs.
  • Power delivery uses an SST + BESS 800V DC architecture to cut multi-stage AC/DC conversion losses, copper use and footprint as racks reach hundreds of kW; cooling mixes air, liquid and Ulanqab's natural free cooling. Envision claims ~10x the compute output per unit area versus conventional datacenters (company estimate, not independently verified).
  • Business model splits responsibility: Envision delivers green power, land, campus and the AI power system; customers deploy and operate their own servers and chip clusters. It's the first step of the June 2026 "Mission Gobi" plan to build 5GW of green AI compute in desert regions by 2030.
