The company announced on May 18 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Aperion Energy Group (AEG) for the maintenance of power engines at data centers.
Under this agreement, the two companies will establish a cooperative system for the long-term maintenance and operation of 33 power engines at a data center being built by AEG in Texas.
Earlier, in April, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries signed a supply contract with AEG for a 684-megawatt (MW) power generation facility based on the 20 MW HiMSEN engine.
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the power consumption of data centers has surged, making the reliability of backup and commercial power supply systems a key factor in the efficient operation of these facilities.
HD Hyundai Marine Solutions aims to leverage its collaboration with AEG to showcase the proven performance of the HiMSEN engine and its superior engine maintenance technology, thereby expanding its market share in North America.
Notably, the cooperation between the two companies is expected to go beyond simple engine supply to include long-term service agreements (LTSA) and operation and maintenance contracts (O&M), allowing HD Hyundai Marine Solutions to establish a robust high-value service revenue model that generates continuous income.
Industry observers note that HD Hyundai is expanding its business scope into the land-based data center power infrastructure market, building on its existing shipbuilding and marine engine technology. The company is accelerating its efforts to strengthen a stable recurring revenue base by securing long-term contracts that include maintenance and operational services.
A representative from HD Hyundai Marine Solutions stated, "With the explosive growth of the AI industry, the demand for power is surging, highlighting the importance of meticulous maintenance services for data center power engines more than ever. Through this collaboration, we will demonstrate our AM Solutions capabilities and seize new demand related to data centers in the North American market."
