Guizhou’s internet-data-service electricity consumption approached two billion kilowatt-hours during January–July, increasing 101.15% year over year.

Guizhou Province’s internet-data-service sector consumed close to two billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from January through July 2026. Consumption increased 101.15% from the corresponding seven-month period in 2025.

The metric is electricity consumed by internet data services, not a direct measure of computing performance, GPU count, data-center floor area or contracted power capacity. It captures energy use over the period rather than instantaneous electrical demand in watts.

The update was presented in the context of compute-power and electricity coordination, known as “compute-power coordination” (算电协同). The supplied source does not break consumption down by facility, operator, workload type or energy source.

No peak-load figure, renewable-energy share, power-usage effectiveness measurement or province-wide data-center capacity was disclosed. The reported change therefore establishes the scale and growth of electricity consumption but not the efficiency of the underlying facilities.
