en.Wedoany.com Reported - At a Shanghai special press conference titled "Starting the '15th Five-Year Plan'" held on May 18, Liu Jian, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government and Director of the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, proposed that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Shanghai will double its computing power scale, achieve efficient scheduling of cross-regional heterogeneous computing resources, build four 10-gigawatt-level green power bases, and deeply promote the construction of new power systems.
At the press conference, Liu Jian systematically elaborated on Shanghai's infrastructure support strategy for the "15th Five-Year Plan" period from three dimensions: computing power, energy, and spatial resources. In terms of computing power resources, Shanghai will optimize the layout of computing power infrastructure, achieve efficient scheduling of cross-regional heterogeneous computing resources, and double the computing power scale. This goal directly corresponds to the continuously rising demand for computing power in scenarios such as large-scale AI model training, industrial simulation, and financial risk control. Shanghai is attempting to upgrade itself from a major computing power demand city to a strong computing power supply city through computing power expansion and cross-regional scheduling capacity building.
On the energy security front, Shanghai will deeply promote the construction of new power systems and build four 10-gigawatt-level green power bases. This statement by Liu Jian explicitly quantifies the number and scale of Shanghai's green power bases for the first time. The large-scale increase in green power supply will directly support the low-carbon operation of high-energy-consuming information infrastructure such as data centers and intelligent computing centers, providing a stable low-carbon energy foundation for strategic industries like integrated circuit manufacturing and AI computing clusters.
Regarding spatial resource security, Liu Jian committed to taking multiple measures to ensure the scale of land supply in Shanghai, with an average annual supply of approximately 35 square kilometers of construction land during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, ensuring that good projects do not lack land. This commitment is particularly crucial for high-end manufacturing industries such as integrated circuits and artificial intelligence, which require large-scale factories and R&D parks. It also serves as an institutional guarantee for industrial project implementation against the backdrop of increasingly tight land resources in Shanghai.
Shanghai's economic performance data for the first quarter also corroborates the supporting role of the ICT industry. The manufacturing output value of the three pioneering industries increased by 16.1% year-on-year, with integrated circuit manufacturing output value growing by 21.3% and artificial intelligence manufacturing output value growing by 19.2%, both significantly higher than the city's 5.6% growth rate for total industrial output value above designated size. The goal of doubling computing power scale and the construction of four 10-gigawatt-level green power bases are precisely the dual support providing infrastructure and energy security for these rapidly growing pioneering industries.
