On December 8 , 2021 , the four ministries jointly issued the For Implementation of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Target Requirements: the Plan for Promoting the Green and High-quality Development of New Infrastructure including Data Center and 5G. 
 
The main goals include:

·       By 2025, data centers and 5G will basically form a green and intensive integrated operation pattern.

·       Data center operation power utilization efficiency and renewable energy utilization efficiency will be significantly improved. The average power utilization efficiency of newly built large and ultra-large data centers nationwide will drop below 1.3, the national hub node will further drop below 1.25, and the green and low-carbon level will reach 4A or above.

The overall utilization rate of data centers across the country will increased significantly. The utilization rate of Western Data Center will increase from 30% to more than 50%, and the supply and demand of computing power in the east and west will be more balanced. The energy efficiency of 5G base stations will be increased by more than 20%. The data center and 5G energy consumption dynamic monitoring mechanism will be basically formed, and the overall output measurement system and statistical methods will be basically sound.
