Envision sets 2028 target for 3 GW Inner Mongolia data-center campus

Ricky Zheng, general manager of Envision Group’s AI Data Center business, said the company plans to complete its Galaxy Campus data center in Inner Mongolia by the end of 2028 and eventually expand it to 3 gigawatts. Both the date and capacity are Envision targets: the reviewed evidence does not establish that 3 GW has been built or show how much computing capacity is operating now.

The Ulanqab site is being developed in phases, according to independent tracking. Satellite-based records show construction milestones beginning with land clearing for Building 1 in August 2025. Work on Buildings 2 and 3 followed, with land clearing for Building 4 underway by September 2026.

Envision said in August that it had commissioned the campus and was commissioning Building 1. The company described the facility as designed to scale beyond 2 GW, span 120,000 square meters and support as many as 1 million accelerators at full buildout. Those figures reflect Envision’s planned design, not independently measured operating capacity.

Envision’s stated model has the company supplying power and supporting systems, while technology-company tenants install their own chip clusters and process data. Zheng said Envision had lined up offtake agreements through 2029 or 2030. The reviewed sources, however, do not identify the counterparties, contracted capacity or commercial terms.

Zheng also described Chinese demand as strong and said sector momentum was helping Envision obtain “very fair” interest rates. The reviewed material does not disclose a lender, financing amount, rate, term or evidence of a completed financing transaction. Zheng said the company was also discussing leases with autonomous-driving and content-generation companies as well as hyperscalers, but did not name prospective customers.

Beyond China, Zheng said Envision could eventually target 10 GW of global data-center capacity, with Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa under consideration. That ambition is separate from Envision’s August target of 5 GW of green AI computing capacity under its Mission Gobi program by 2030; the company has not explained how the two figures relate. The reviewed sources did not identify a specific international site, permit, customer, financing package or construction start.
