Huawei Horinger

Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China

Huawei Horinger is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned by Huawei. It hosts an estimated 89k H100-equivalents of AI compute, supported by 184 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $7.0 B. In Q1 2028, we project it to rise to 168k H100-eq AI compute, 346 MW IT power and a cost of $13.1 B. We estimate that it uses Huawei Ascend 910C chips.

The timeline of IT power and AI compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, company disclosures, chip availability, and chip efficiency.

One report suggests the Horinger campus could eventually grow to as many as 50 buildings under an unconfirmed Phase 2.

Land clearing begins simultaneously for all three campuses (west, north, and south) after an official ceremony. Two of the campuses later have the cooling capacity indicative of AI workloads, while the other (the north campus) does not.

On the west zone, building 1 is structurally complete, and building 4 is structurally complete apart from some remaining cooling towers. Buildings 2 and 5 have begun construction.

Three of the six buildings planned across the three campuses (what can be called phase 1) are operational. One other is near completion, apart from backup generators. The third campus does not have cooling sufficient for AI.

Building 6 is operational (estimate). This was the only new building under construction as of August 2026. Buildings in the previous phases each took 1.6 to 2.3 years from laying the foundations to becoming operational. The new building has a similar shape to a new building at the Huawei Wuhu campus which, based on its cooling and backup power capacity, is about 3.7x the power of previous buildings (see calculations sheet). We expect the chips to be 910C, or to have about the same energy efficiency as the 910C.
