AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
Hyundai Motor Group's official release confirms Hyundai Engineering's Phase 1 award and its building, civil, MEP, landscaping and telecom scope. The stated KRW 870 billion is the total project scale, not a confirmed construction-contract value until the contract is disclosed. The 60MW remains a planned figure whose definition as grid intake, IT Load or UPS is undisclosed. Hyundai Engineering will handle cooling towers, chillers and switchgear, while kt cloud will handle UPS, batteries and controls; UPS capacity, redundancy, makers and supply contracts are undisclosed. NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Vertiv modular/skid adoption are plans, not completed purchases, deliveries or commissioning. October is a target groundbreaking date, so the site remains pre-construction until permit, commencement filing and actual work records are verified. The long-term 300MW and follow-on 240MW are not added to current available capacity.
