从“薯都”到“token之都”,中国草原跑出算力黑马

乌兰察布如何利用风光资源与气候优势,承接算力需求并打造“token之都”

Quick Look

内蒙古乌兰察布通过利用风光绿电资源与气候优势,成功转型为亚太地区重要的AI算力集群。该市已吸引华为、苹果等头部企业入驻,并正从单纯的算力租赁向“token之都”的产业价值链高端迈进。

Why It Matters

乌兰察布通过“东数西算”工程布局,利用风光绿电与冷凉气候优势,成为中国重要的算力枢纽。该市正从传统农业转型为AI算力产业集群。

近日,美国纽约北部小村庄东菲什基尔发布一纸禁令:三年内禁止新建任何数据中心。这座为IBM造了50年芯片的科技小镇,一下就踩了刹车。

它不是不想发展,而是大规模缺电正制约美国AI发展。

地球另一端,几乎同纬度的内蒙古草原上,截然相反的景象正在上演。风车在山脚下转动,光伏板向天际铺展,绿电涌进机房,数据运算马不停蹄。

同样是在算力上做文章,乌兰察布——这个曾经以土豆为产业主角的小城,正把全球最“来电”的生意,做得风生水起。

华为、阿里、苹果、快手、字节等头部企业相继落户,累计签约算力中心项目109个,截至2026年8月,算力规模达19万P。高盛评价,这里已崛起为亚太规模最大、增长最快的AI算力集群之一。

一片曾以土豆闻名的草原,如今“放牧”算力,在把风、冷和草地变成算力硬通货的过程中,乌兰察布走好了三步棋。

第一步,资源棋。

电力是算力建设的底座。乌兰察布地处阴山北麓,风能、太阳能资源富集,全市新能源并网装机超2000万千瓦,绿电占比约 67%。

丰富资源奠定电价优势。乌兰察布算力项目到户电价稳定在约0.32—0.36元/千瓦时。对比北上广深0.7-0.8元左右的工业电价,几乎少了一半。

第二步,产业棋。

有了电,乌兰察布利用气候和区位优势做产业文章。

年均气温4.3℃,近10个月可用自然冷源,让数据中心的散热制冷成本省下一大截;距北京240公里的区位优势,则让数据传输的单向实测时延缩小到2.1毫秒。

东部算力外溢,就近落地。模型训练、云存储、自动驾驶推演,一批批“吃电大户”在这里安家,算力规模一路滚到19万P。

第三步,价值棋。

随着AI产业向纵深发展,从发电和数据中心起步的乌兰察布已不再满足于只做卖电和机柜租赁的生意。

2025年11月,乌兰察布正式启动建设“token(词元)之都”三年行动计划,要打造“风光发电—绿色算力—词元价值输出”的闭环。“十五五”期间,其将培育词元生产、计量、评测、安全等环节,并推动词元交易平台建设。

token,是大模型世界的最小计量单位。2024年以来,中国日均token调用量从1000亿狂飙至500万亿。从“卖资源”到“卖算力”再到“卖词元”,乌兰察布想做的,是在这条产业价值链上再进一步。

算力网是国家规划建设的“六张网”之一,算力产业正处在加速发展阶段。

从2013年布局数据中心,到2022年被列入“东数西算”枢纽,再到建设“token之都”,乌兰察布已从上世纪靠土豆和牛羊撑起家底的小城,逐渐走向全球AI算力竞争的中心舞台。

这是一座城市向“新”发展的缩影,也是中国因地制宜推动高质量发展的注脚。

从乌兰察布看向全国,“东数西算”工程已布局八大国家算力枢纽、10 个国家数据中心集群。贵州的全国首个大数据综合试验区,广东韶关的国家级数据中心集群,宁夏中卫的大规模绿电直供项目……各地依托资源禀赋,走出一条条发展新路。

地球的两端,两种选择,两种结局:一边为电发愁,新兴产业按下暂停键;一边向电而生,把算力种进草原。

当美国还在为小村庄的供电扯皮时,中国的草原上,AI时代的新动能,正加速形成。

Did you get tricked even if you didn’t enter the password? Risks of new website attacks on iPhone, users of this type should be careful

Apple's new iPhone is about to be launched, and fraud groups are taking advantage of the opportunity to set up fake pre-orders, lottery draws and malicious websites. Trend Micro warns that some malicious websites will take advantage of known iOS vulnerabilities. Users who just open the web page without entering data may be attacked, and urges the public to update their systems and be vigilant.

76% of companies in Taiwan have encountered major information security incidents! Cisco reveals the biggest obstacle is not technology but "it"

Cisco's latest "Continuous Defense Report" points out that about 60% of information security professionals believe that insufficient organizational collaboration capabilities are the main obstacle to defense. The average score of Taiwanese companies is 59 points, and only 3% are "continuous defenders", facing multiple challenges such as cross-department coordination, data access, and AI introduction.
