China has started operating the world’s first underwater datacentre powered by wind energy off the coast of Shanghai. The underwater datacentre uses less energy and water compared to traditional land-based datacentres by taking advantage of natural seawater cooling and renewable wind power.
Key Facts
The Shanghai Lingang underwater datacentre began operations in May and has a 24-megawatt capacity.
It is located 10 meters below sea level, about 10 km off Shanghai's coast, and powered by a nearby offshore wind farm.
Being underwater helps reduce overall energy use by more than 20% due to natural cooling from seawater.
Traditional datacentres use 25-40% of their electricity for cooling servers with chilled water.
Underwater datacentres use much less freshwater, addressing water consumption concerns linked to AI infrastructure.
The project is a joint effort by HiCloud Technology and China Communications Construction, with a 1.6 billion yuan (£177m) investment.
China plans to increase clean energy use for AI and datacentres significantly by 2030.
Underwater datacentres may affect local marine environments, but experts believe these impacts can be managed with monitoring.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has removed the deadline for Amazon to launch half of its planned satellite internet network, called Amazon Leo, by July 2026. The FCC still requires Amazon to complete the full network by July 2029 but wants the company to keep launching satellites quickly to provide better internet service.
Key Facts
Amazon must launch 3,232 satellites for its Amazon Leo broadband network.
The FCC initially required half (1,616 satellites) to be launched by July 30, 2026.
Amazon requested the FCC to extend or remove this deadline because it won’t meet it.
The FCC decided to remove the July 2026 deadline but kept the July 2029 deadline for all satellites.
The FCC supports Amazon Leo because it will offer competition to SpaceX’s Starlink, the only current low-Earth orbit broadband provider in the U.S.
Amazon has invested over $10 billion in the project, including infrastructure and manufacturing.
Launching satellites is difficult because Amazon relies on rockets that are currently grounded or have limited availability.
Amazon has contracts with Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, and others to launch its satellites, but some rockets are not ready or cannot carry many satellites at once.
