SemiAnalysis visits Galaxy Data Center's first phase delivery
Understand this story
SemiAnalysis published an article stating that in September it conducted an on-site visit to the Galaxy Data Center campus in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia; the first phase of 120MW was delivered within one year, at a cost of about one-fifth of that in the United States. The campus is planned for up to 800MW of IT capacity; the first phase was delivered in August 2026, and the entire campus is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. SemiAnalysis said that Envision plans to use its own wind farms to meet more than 60% of the electricity demand for the first two phases; Galaxy's SST pilot is only 5MW, but it has already achieved 800V DC power supply at the rack level at an active hyperscale data center site. The above delivery speed, cost, and power supply results all come from SemiAnalysis's account of its visit.

- SemiAnalysisWe Visited China’s Stargate in Inner Mongolia
SemiAnalysis reports on a September visit to Inner Mongolia's datacenter region, including Galaxy, an Envision-owned campus in Ulanqab planned for up to 800MW of IT capacity whose first 120MW phase was delivered within a year at a fifth of US costs. The report describes Envision's vertical integration—its own wind farms, a dedicated power line, an 800V DC solid-state transformer pilot, and a chiller-less cooling design—and compares Galaxy's scale to Stargate's Abilene campus. It also notes Inner Mongolia has lined up 25GW of announced datacenter projects.
