AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
This announcement signals a new trend in which domestic data center operators and power equipment manufacturers are collaborating from the initial design phase. The scope of the announcement includes future supply plans for ultra-high-voltage transformers, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), and power distribution panels, as well as plans to expand the product lineup to include UPS systems and air-handling units. However, the MOU does not imply individual purchase contracts, purchase orders, deliveries, KEPCO grid connection approval, or power supply agreements. Since the location, name, number of units, contract amount, schedule, power capacity, IT load, and UPS capacity of the new AI data centers in question have not been disclosed, we will not arbitrarily assign them to existing KT Cloud center records or create map pins.
