Sejong City signed an MOU with SK Securities, Meteus Asset Management and Seed H to pursue a 360 MW-class AI data center by 2029. The investment plan and administrative support pledge are confirmed, but they do not mean that land, power, water or permits have been secured.

LG Electronics USA signed a definitive long-term agreement with AIR Control Concepts to supply high-efficiency chillers to AI data centers in the United States and Canada. The 5 GW figure is the aggregate scale of the supported data center portfolio, not cooling capacity or secured power in Korea.

Sejong City and Actis Korea signed an investment MOU for a 100 MW-class AI data center on about 130,000 square metres in Sejong. It is recorded separately from the 360 MW agreement because the parties, scale and announcement date differ, without treating the site, power or permits as secured.

LG Electronics will build an air-cooled chiller plant for AI data centers in Virginia and expand its Pyeongtaek and Changwon production lines. This indicates added manufacturing capacity, not a supply contract for a specific data center.

LS ELECTRIC disclosed a contract to supply its U.S. subsidiary with extra-high-voltage transformers for North American hyperscale AI data-center power infrastructure. It is a new order with a different value and term from the August contract.

LG Electronics has been listed as a Preferred Partner in the Power and Cooling category of the NVIDIA Partner Network. This signals an expansion of opportunities for engagement during the early stages of design and is distinct from supply contracts for individual project sites.

The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly develop refrigerants and refrigeration oils and to expand the application of liquid immersion cooling. This is technical development news related to the selection of cooling media for data centers and the review of equipment compatibility.

It has been confirmed that Woori Financial Group has signed a project finance (PF) agreement for the Pohang AI Factory data center, and that NHN Cloud has committed to a preliminary lease for 16 MW of IT load and is scheduled to take over operations upon completion.
