Tencent Details AI Data Center Energy Plan for Carbon Neutrality
Tencent said in a press release that it published a carbon neutrality progress report and interactive microsite covering its path to carbon neutrality across its operations and supply chain by 2030. The report focuses on data center efficiency, renewable electricity, and AI systems for managing energy use as AI workloads increase power and cooling demand.
Tencent said AI workloads have raised rack power demand from 6 to 8 kW to 30 to 100 kW or more. Its T-AIDC data center architecture is designed for high density computing and can deliver power supply efficiency of up to 98%.
The company said renewable electricity consumption increased from 22.0% in 2024 to 48.5% in 2025. Its owned data centers reached an 82.9% renewable electricity share, and Tencent has procured more than 6.5 billion kWh of green electricity since announcing its carbon neutrality target.
Tencent also described AI projects outside its own infrastructure, including scheduling systems for steel production, workload scheduling aligned with renewable energy supply, the CarbonX Program for climate technology, and TanLIVE, its climate intelligence platform.
