A modular unit, dubbed the “AI-Power Island” was developed by TGOOD, a power equipment manufacturer in Qingdao. The prefabricated base acts as the “heart” of a data center and integrates high-voltage transformers and solid-state transformers into a factory-built module.

This approach slashes construction time by nearly 70 percent to just five months, reduces land footprint by over 30 percent, and cuts civil engineering costs by almost 80 percent.

The module connects directly to the 110kV or 220kV grid and, via internal conversion, delivers multiple 800V DC outputs to power the AI servers. The station supports direct green energy integration and features an AI-driven coordination platform that matches power supply with computing demand in milliseconds. For computing power centers, every second counts. Even a momentary power interruption can derail high-intensity computing tasks and compromise valuable processing time.

The system addresses soaring energy costs associated with AI. By utilizing renewable energy during peak generation and optimizing power distribution, the system reduces the electricity cost per AI token by about 30 percent, according to Zhou Jun, executive president of TGOOD.

The deployment of this infrastructure aligns with a broader push for AI affordability in China. Major tech firms like DeepSeek have recently significantly slashed computing prices, while Chinese telecom operators are rolling out budget-friendly “token subscription packages” for small and medium enterprises.

TGOOD’s prefabricated power module has been connected to enterprise self-built data centers, and it is expected to be deployed in national-level data center clusters as well as multiple local-level ones in the second half of this year.
