Daehan Electric has secured a contract to build the power infrastructure for an artificial intelligence (AI) data center in Australia, accelerating its expansion into the global market.
On July 8, Daehan Electric announced that it has won a turnkey project for the AI data center power network, commissioned by Transgrid, Australia's largest transmission power company. The contract is valued at approximately 45 billion won (about $40 million).
This project aims to ensure a stable power supply for the AI data center currently under construction in Australia. Daehan Electric will handle the entire process on a turnkey basis, from the design of a 330kV high-voltage cable system to material supply, construction, testing, and commissioning.
Given that the AI data center operates 24/7, a reliable power supply is essential. This requires not only high-quality high-voltage cables but also expertise in system design, engineering, construction, and site management. Daehan Electric secured the project after competing with global firms, leveraging its high-voltage cable technology and experience in international projects.
Daehan Electric has established its competitiveness in the local market by executing various projects, including 500kV high-voltage cable projects and the 'Powering Sydney's Future' initiative to expand Sydney's power network, as well as projects involving 330kV, 275kV, and 220kV systems in Australia and New Zealand.
A representative from Daehan Electric stated, "As stable power supply is crucial for AI data centers, a high level of technical expertise and project execution capability is required. We will use this contract as a stepping stone to further expand our reach into the global AI data center and high-value power infrastructure markets."
