8PageApplying for Data Center Electricity: Start by Organizing the Site and Power Requirements
This is a method for distinguishing between IT load and power supply capacity, and for communicating the initial and final capacities along with the date of use to the design firm.
Required Documents · Application Process · Vendor Roles →02 · Notice of ScheduleWhat is the difference between a notice of intended electricity use and a formal application for electricity service?
This document outlines, in chronological order, the process of receiving a notice of intended power supply, submitting supplementary information, receiving a response regarding supply review, and determining whether the project is subject to a power system impact assessment.
Required Documents · Application Process · Vendor Roles →05 · Energy ConsultationConsultation on the Power System Impact Assessment and the Energy Usage Plan: Why They Are Not the Same Process
This is a method of preparing annual energy demand, supply, and efficiency plans separately from the grid review and incorporating them into the design.

3PageIs it okay to shut down a server just because its CPU usage is low?
This is an operational checklist used to distinguish between server utilization and non-utilization, and to verify the responsible personnel, observation period, scheduled tasks, and dependent services.
Read the column →TECHNICAL GUIDEWhat’s the difference between a 40 MW data center and a 32 MW IT load?
Using the official announcement of the Pohang AI Data Center as an example, we distinguish between power capacity and IT load. We provide a comparison table that categorizes design values, actual operational measurements, and unverified items.
Read the column →TECHNICAL GUIDEUnderstanding Data Center WUE: Compare Water Usage and Measurement Scopes Together
This is a comparison table that verifies the units, time periods, and measurement ranges of WUE, which indicates the relationship between on-site water usage and IT energy consumption. It does not imply actual measurements at a specific center or water supply availability.
Read the column →Where should we start with our project site?
We will determine the necessary tasks and the scope of vendors based on the address, desired power capacity, intended usage period, and the response received from KEPCO.
