China operationalized its first high-altitude, cavern-based intelligent computing center at the Lianghekou Hydropower Station. The innovative project helps integrate the nation's "East Data, West Computing" initiative with clean energy development. Powered by the world's largest and highest-altitude hydro-solar complementary facility, it transforms hydropower construction tunnels into natural constant-temperature data centers. This achieves dual breakthroughs in ultra-high computing power and ultra-low energy consumption. For every 1.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed by the computing center, only 0.2 kilowatt-hours are used for auxiliary functions like cooling and lighting, making it among the most energy-efficient in China.
