Sun Dong: Government Preparing to Launch New Round of Computing Power Study, Hoping to Further Optimise Layout

Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong said the government is preparing to commission a consultant to conduct a new round of computing power research, with 'efficient computing power, stable electricity and low-carbon transition' as the core direction, to optimise the operation of data centres and the layout of computing power in Hong Kong. Legislative Council member Elizabeth Quat said in a Legislative Council oral question that computing power facilities are in short supply, and asked whether research on computing power certification and trading mechanisms would be accelerated. The research will analyse Hong Kong's future demand for computing power, as well as the industries and GDP growth that computing power can drive.
