Summary
On 30 September 2026 the Zhongwei Natural Resources Bureau issued the construction-project planning permit (electronic supervision no. 6405022026GG0076614) to Zhongwei Shuofang Xinghe Technology Co., Ltd. for Phase 1 of the Volcano Engine Ningxia Zhongwei Xuanhe Compute Centre: the C1 and C2 super-core (data machine-room) buildings, auxiliary building, main gatehouse, fire-water pool and CG1/2 super-core diesel platforms (20,982.59 m2 GFA), published as in effect on 10 October 2026. The same-day land-use permit gives 42,587 m2 of land, 2,988 planned racks and 7.47 MW planned IT power. No construction start, completion or operation is established; the operations building and laboratory in the August scheme are not in this permit. evidence

Published detailed plan of the Xuanhe area of the Zhongwei data-centre cluster (Wangyuan Village, Xuanhe Town; 824.82 ha planning area, 577.11 ha construction land), attached to the Zhongwei Data Bureau notice of 20 August 2026. Text names the road network (Sandang Highway county road, 26 m red line; trunk roads including Weisi and Weiliu Roads and Jingyi to Jingliu Roads; secondary roads including Jingsan and Wanyun Roads, 8 m) and the planned Xutao 330 kV substation. Page 4 land-use map (on an imagery basemap with a 1,000 m scale bar) shows the parcel bounded by Jingsan Road, Wanyun Road, the Sandang Highway corridor and Weiliu Road; it is registered to imagery in the geometry facts file. evidence

- Precision scope
- Area centroid of the 4.2587 ha parcel 卫地(G)[2026]-29: the land line on the official August scheme board, scaled to the permit land area (42,587 m2), rotated by the board north arrow (checked against the Weisi Road and Sandang Highway edges within 2 deg) and placed in the north-east corner of the Weisi Road/Sandang Highway block of the official Xuanhe detailed plan, itself registered to Esri World Imagery (about 5 m RMS image-to-image). Locates the Phase 1 compute-centre parcel (about 280 x 190 m, centroid about 176 m south-west of the corner); not a building footprint, entrance, surveyed boundary or construction extent.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
No coordinates, datum or survey accuracy are published for the parcel. The point combines a manually read scheme outline scaled by the stated area, a north-arrow rotation, a manually picked block corner on a 6.5 m per px planning raster and that raster's registration to Esri World Imagery of unstated date and accuracy; it also assumes the parcel fills the block corner. Estimated within roughly 60 m; decimal places are arithmetic precision.

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
