Dangjin Songsan 2 Industrial Complex AI Data Center: Confirmed to be in the stage of submitting a 100MW agreement and grid impact assessment
South Chungcheong Province and Dangjin City signed an investment agreement with EFD and NFD Korea for a 100 MW AI data center worth 1.2405 trillion won, and official documents confirm that the project is currently in the stage of submitting a power system impact assessment and proceeding with building permits.

01September 9, 2026: Investment Agreement Between Chungnam Province, Dangjin City, EFD, and NFD Korea
02Songsan 2 General Industrial Complex: 35,239 m²; 1.2405 trillion won by 2029; Building C planned for 100 MW
03Based on official data, a 100 MW power system impact assessment has been submitted, and the building permit process is underway.
04The operator’s current project page specifies an IT load of 140 MW and a design PUE of 1.33.
05The operator’s claim that a total of 300 MW has been secured, along with power purchase agreements and permits for modifications, requires further verification using official administrative documents and original contract texts.
AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
Since the 100 MW Project for Building C announced publicly and the 300 MW campus comprising Buildings A, B, and C announced by NFD Korea are deemed to be part of the same phase of development for the Songsan 2 General Industrial Complex, only one physical data center has been registered. Official data from South Chungcheong Province specifies that a 35,239 m² site has been secured, with a 1.2405 trillion won investment plan through 2029; a 100 MW power system impact assessment has been submitted, and building permit procedures are underway. In contrast, the developer claims to have finalized a 300 MW supply contract with KEPCO and obtained amended building permits; the current project page separately lists a site area of 43,188 m², a gross floor area of 106,716 m², an IT load of 140 MW, and a design PUE of 1.33. Submission of a power system impact assessment is distinct from an electricity supply contract or grid connection approval; furthermore, since the permitting stages indicated in public records and the developer’s announcements differ, we do not treat the securing of 300 MW of power or the completion of permits as confirmed figures. The 100 MW and 300 MW figures are undisclosed planned values, and have been separated from the explicitly stated IT load of 140 MW. DL E&C’s pre-construction for Building A and the target of starting construction in November, as well as LS ELECTRIC’s transformer supply, are recorded based on the operator’s announcement; however, the original contract text, quantities, performance specifications, delivery dates, and whether construction has actually commenced must be reconfirmed prior to placing the order.
