1.6 TWhdata-centre electricity · 4.3% of national generation · grade B, Derived

Hong Kong's data centres draw 1.6 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 22nd of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.

That is 4.3% of everything the country generates — well above the 1.2% median across those countries.

Set against 0.5 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 37% load factor.

One metro is tracked here: Hong Kong, at 400 MW and operating.

Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Systems & Facility on the physical basis, at #20 of 54.

It does not register at all on Silicon, Memory & Storage or Networking.

About $1bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Hong Kong, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.

Where Hong Kong ranks

The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.
