AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
This agreement signals a collaboration among companies to jointly develop the PMDC model, which standardizes building structures and power/cooling systems for prefabrication in a factory and on-site assembly. While it has been confirmed that the five companies will combine their capabilities in design, construction, operations, power, mechanical systems, cooling, and project management, the specific responsibilities and scope of work for each company have not been disclosed. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) does not imply a completed standard model, certification, individual design, construction, or operation contracts, securing project sites, building permits, connection to the KEPCO grid, or power supply agreements. Since shortening construction time and ensuring consistent quality are development goals, this MOU should not be used to guarantee performance or confirm construction schedules for individual projects.
