AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS
Interpretation and the following points to verify
Since this project involves the addition of a project-specific private equity fund (PEF) and a resolution to contribute capital to the existing Gunsan National Industrial Complex No. 2 project, it will not be duplicated as a new physical center. SGC Energy plans to acquire a 99.66% stake in the PEF and announced that SGC Partners, Korea Investment & Securities, and Harvest Equity Partners will participate as co-managers. However, the PEF investment resolution and the design of the project finance (PF) structure are distinct from the execution and drawdown of the PF loan agreement, the signing of the construction contract, and the completion of building permits or the actual start of construction. The target schedule of breaking ground in October and commencing commercial operation in the first quarter of 2028 remains unchanged. The 60 MW figure remains a planned capacity for which the specific basis—whether based on power consumption, UPS, or IT load—has not been disclosed; it should not be interpreted as indicating the completion of power supply or grid connection.
