POWER CONNECTION GUIDE

Verify the supply basis before verifying the power equipment.

  1. Separate the target IT load and PUE from the facility’s applied capacity.
  2. KEPCO does not treat applications for electricity use, supply agreements, and grid connection as part of the same document as the desired start date.
  3. View data center power connection procedures and required documents →
