Pinwan News on September 16, according to IT House, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held the eighth press conference on the theme of “Industry and Informatization Development in the New Era”, with the theme of “Promoting the Green, Low-Carbon and Circular Development of Industry”.

Huang Libin, director of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that data centers and 5G are strategic resources and public infrastructure that support future economic and social development, and are also one of the key areas for energy conservation and consumption reduction. In order to promote the green and high-quality development of new infrastructure such as data centers and 5G in an orderly manner, and to help achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “14th Five-Year Plan for Industrial Green Development” and the “14th Five-Year Plan”. Information and Communication Industry Development Plan” to guide digital infrastructure to accelerate energy-saving and green and low-carbon development. Since the “13th Five-Year Plan”, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recommended more than 100 advanced and applicable technology products for data center and 5G energy saving and efficiency improvement services to the society. In order to create a typical benchmark, three batches of 153 national green data centers were released. Organize the formulation of energy efficiency standards such as “Data Center Energy Efficiency Limits and Energy Efficiency Grades” to promote the green upgrade of data centers. At present, the single-site energy consumption of 5G base stations has been reduced by more than 20% compared with the initial commercial use in 2019, and the average design power utilization ratio of large and larger data centers planned and under construction nationwide has dropped to 1.3.

In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will take measures to speed up the energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading of digital infrastructure, and promote the green and low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the whole industry in a scientific and orderly manner.
