At the 2026 China Computing Power Conference forum on Sept. 12, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) released the "Compute-Power Grid · Compute-Power Coordination High-Quality Development Project Repository" and upgraded the compute–power coordination public service platform to version 2.0. The repository aggregates nationwide compute–power coordination project practices, establishes industry exemplars, and is intended as a public-service vehicle to scale coordination from pilot to deployment. CAICT says it will collect projects year-round, periodically verify progress and measured results with firms, dynamically update project status and empirical outcomes, and integrate the repository with policy research, standards development, testing and certification, and the public-service platform to promote replication and broader implementation.
