The Central Cyberspace and Information Commission issued an Action Plan for High-Quality Development of Cyber Information Enterprises (2026–2030) that directs firms toward green, low‑carbon operations and periodic disclosure of decarbonization progress. Key measures: support greater use of renewable power and guide new compute facilities to coordinate sitting and layout with renewable generation; continue construction of national green computing infrastructure. The plan mandates updating a recommended catalog of energy‑saving and carbon‑reduction equipment and promotes liquid‑cooling and waste‑heat‑recovery technologies. It encourages ecosystem- and industry-leading firms to help upstream/downstream partners cut emissions, accelerate digital energy/carbon management center deployment, and build green value and supply chains. Local authorities are urged to create green‑transition service platforms offering low‑cost, standardized carbon accounting tools and energy‑efficiency diagnostics to lower firms’ transition barriers.
