LS Electric is partnering with KT Cloud to target the AI data center infrastructure market.
LS Electric announced on September 3 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KT Cloud on September 2 at the LS Yongsan Tower in Seoul. Key executives from both companies, including LS Electric CEO Chae Dae-seok and KT Cloud CEO Kim Bong-kyun, attended the signing ceremony.
The agreement aims to promote collaboration in the design and supply of power equipment and the exchange of next-generation technologies in response to the growing trend of larger and more power-intensive AI data centers.
LS Electric stated, "We plan to jointly research core power solutions optimized for building modular data centers from the initial design stage." Modular data centers are constructed by precisely manufacturing server rooms, power networks, and cooling modules in factories and assembling them on-site, allowing for reduced construction time and flexible expansion compared to traditional reinforced concrete methods.
LS Electric will supply essential power equipment, including high-voltage transformers, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), and power distribution panels, to the new AI data center being developed by KT Cloud. The company also plans to expand its supply range to include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and air conditioning systems.
A representative from LS Electric remarked, "As the demand for power surges due to the proliferation of generative AI, high-power infrastructure technology has emerged as a core competitive advantage for data centers. Through our collaboration with KT Cloud, we aim to enhance our responsiveness to next-generation AI data center technologies and strengthen our market dominance."
