China's State Council issued the 15th Five‑Year Carbon Peak Action Plan directing a green, low‑carbon transition for compute facilities. It mandates coordinated siting with renewable generation, supports green power direct supply and deployment of energy storage and backup power, and calls for new compute facilities to rely primarily on electricity from non‑fossil sources. The plan tightens energy‑saving and carbon‑reduction standards, promotes retrofits for non‑compliant facilities, orders the phased removal of outdated, inefficient technology and equipment, and accelerates construction of green and zero‑carbon compute facilities.
