AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
Based on a comparison of the follow-up report dated September 13, 2026, and the official resolution of the Muan County Council, we have registered one previously omitted physical project site. Although the building permit application was received on July 31, the completion of the permit process or the start of construction has not been confirmed. The 200 MW figure is a planned capacity based on publicly available data that does not specify whether it refers to power intake capacity, IT load, or UPS capacity; therefore, it is not recorded as secured power or current capacity. The county council’s resolution urging rejection of the permit represents the council’s position and does not constitute a final administrative decision by Muan County. The corporate name of the project entity, the operating company, the KEPCO electricity usage contract, grid connection approval, emergency power generation, UPS, and PUE remain unverified. Since the area units in some official council documents do not match those in other public records or pyeong conversions, we have prioritized the figures from the building permit application: a site area of 37,695.2 m² and a total floor area of 85,667 m².
