Abstract:As a critical digital infrastructure, computing power has become the core productivity and a new engine driving economic growth in the digital economy. Nevertheless, the power-hungry nature of computing/data centers, representing the computing infrastructure, consumes a significant amount of electrical energy. Currently, China’s economy is transitioning from high-speed growth to high-quality development. It is imperative to study how to coordinate the development of computing power while ensuring its safety and achieving green and low-carbon goals. Based on an overview of the current status of computing power development, this study predicts the future demand for computing power in China, analyzes the relationship between future computing power growth and electricity consumption, and discusses the associated challenges. From the perspectives of top-level design, regional layout, platform construction, and market mechanisms, this study proposes strategies and measures to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of computing power, providing support for sustainable computing power transformation and empowering the highquality development of the digital economy.
