China has officially commissioned the Lingang underwater data centre off the coast of Shanghai, deploying around 2,000 servers housed in pressure-resistant, seawater-cooled modules. The 24MW facility, valued at approximately Rs 2,000 crore, is powered entirely by an offshore wind farm. It boasts a power usage effectiveness (PUE) rating below 1.15 and consumes no freshwater, making it notably energy-efficient. The project draws on learnings from Microsoft's Project Natick, which submerged 855 servers off Scotland's Orkney Islands in 2018 and reported significantly lower hardware failure rates than land-based counterparts. Unlike Natick, which was eventually discontinued, China's facility is now in full commercial operation.
