A green technology company called Envision, headquartered in Shanghai, has reportedly commissioned a 2GW campus – the Galaxy Campus – in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia. It will, the company says, be powered directly by renewable energy.

The Galaxy Campus draws on dedicated renewable generation, its own transmission network, large-scale storage capacity and a proprietary control layer Envision calls its AI Power System.

These are designed to manage the intermittency of wind and solar generation in such a way as to meet the constant, high-density electricity demand of a large AI cluster.

The location apparently boasts strong, consistent wind and solar resource across the surrounding grassland region. Envision claims the Ulanqab campus is the only gigawatt-scale green data centre currently planned anywhere in the world.

Envision, which specialises in wind turbines, energy storage, and green hydrogen, said last week that the campus would include a 120,000 square metres, though there appear to be no details about timescale, end users or construction partners. Indeed, the Data Centre Dynamics website says it is unclear whether the company has prior experience with data centre projects.

The company founded in 2007 as a wind turbine company, has claimed that it is planning to build 5GW of green AI computing capacity in desert and arid regions worldwide by 2030.

It is currently building so-called 'net-zero industrial parks' in Ordos and Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, as well as in Cangzhou, Hebei.

Data Centre Dynamics says Envision is the latest company to announce the construction of a large-scale data centre campus in the city, joining AI company DeepSeek and social media platform RedNote.

Galaxy Campus is the opening project under Envision's Mission Gobi initiative, through which it is aiming for 5GW of green AI computing capacity spread across desert and arid regions globally by the end of the decade.
