en.Wedoany.com Reported - On March 20, 2026, four departments — the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC), and the National Energy Administration (NEA) — jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for High-Quality Development of Energy-Saving Equipment (2026–2028)" (MIIT Lian Jie [2026] No. 44). The plan calls for promoting energy conservation and consumption reduction of core energy-using equipment in the information and communication sector and promoting high-efficiency, energy-saving products such as liquid-cooled servers. The "Key Work Points for 'East Data, West Computing' in 2026" concurrently stipulates that the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of newly built mega data centers in hub nodes must not exceed 1.2, and 70% of them must adopt liquid cooling technology. The new MIIT regulations clarify that the liquid cooling penetration rate for newly built data centers in 2026 should be no less than 60%.
According to remarks made by Jin Chi, a data center standardization expert from the China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI), at a public technical seminar in March 2026, CESI is accelerating the formulation of the first batch of national standards for liquid cooling. These standards will cover two mainstream technical routes: cold plate liquid cooling and single-phase immersion liquid cooling, aiming to unify technical compatibility requirements across the upstream and downstream industry chain. Cold plate liquid cooling technology boasts the highest maturity, currently accounting for over 80% of the solutions in newly built data centers. Immersion liquid cooling offers superior heat dissipation efficiency and is suitable for high-density computing scenarios where single cabinet power density exceeds 30 kilowatts.
Multiple companies in the industrial chain have disclosed progress on their production capacities through official channels. Dingtong Technology stated in its investor relations activity records that the company currently has one liquid cooling plate production line and expects to add another in the second quarter of 2026. Its 224G liquid cooling heat dissipation products have already received customer certification. Feirongda responded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's Interactive Easy platform on March 30, 2026, stating that its liquid cooling business and orders in hand are being delivered in an orderly manner, with existing capacity meeting current market demand. Feilong Co., Ltd. disclosed that its 22kW large IDC liquid cooling pumps have passed verification by over 40 clients, including Envicool and Delta, and have entered batch delivery. Jinfu Technology stated on the investor interaction platform on April 9 that orders for liquid cooling plate components from its controlling subsidiary are gradually increasing, with existing production capacity fully booked. A new round of capacity expansion was put into production before the Spring Festival in 2026. Liminda, a subsidiary of Lingyi Intelligent Manufacturing, stated in an interview with CCTV Finance that its core products, water distributors and liquid cooling plates, saw small-batch shipments of 100,000 units in 2025, with planned capacity set to increase to the million-unit level in 2026.
