AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
Cross-checking the official releases from LG Electronics Korea, LG Electronics USA and AIR Control Concepts confirms a definitive long-term chiller supply agreement for North American AI data centers. It is a multi-year program supporting a portfolio of large projects in the United States and Canada with more than 5 GW of aggregate capacity. The 5 GW figure is therefore not recorded as rated chiller cooling capacity, utility intake, IT load, UPS capacity or operating capacity at any single physical site. Contract value, firm term, project sites, end customers, quantities by product and individual delivery schedules were not disclosed. LG's statement that first-half 2026 AIDC cooling orders exceeded KRW 600 billion is company-wide and is not treated as the value of this contract. Expanded CDU supply remains under discussion and is not a confirmed contract item. Because this is a North American supply agreement, no Korean physical data center record, map, utility intake, IT load, UPS or PUE is changed.
