China coordinates networks Power, computing and telecom

Date unknown

CCTV examines coordination among six infrastructure networks in the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan's opening year. In Zhongwei, computing-park plots fill rapidly and the August plan expands, while modular data-center construction outpaces substations. Li Jun says construction starts for four substations planned for 2028–29 have been advanced to 2027. Computing companies now share their data-processing volume information with electricity providers, who calculate actual power needs. The report contrasts this with earlier requests for universally high-grade supply despite demand generally taking three to five years to peak. The account explains western hubs' communications constraints and demonstrates hollow-core fibre; Li Xiaoping says loss and latency can fall by more than 30%. CCTV says the NDRC recently established its first dedicated mechanism for power, computing and next-generation communications planning. It also describes the new Three Gorges shipping corridor's projected transport/flood-storage benefits and claims cross-network investment opportunities. Arrangements, technical assessments and projected benefits do not establish completion of all construction or delivered benefits.

CCTV reports rapid expansion of Zhongwei's computing park and a mismatch between fast modular data-center construction and electricity infrastructure. State Grid's Li Jun says construction starts for four substations planned for 2028–29 have been advanced to 2027. Computing enterprises now share data-processing volume information with electricity providers, who calculate actual power requirements, taking account of demand generally reaching its peak after three to five years. The planning arrangement's date is not stated; 2027 is a construction-start target, not a completion date.
