The company said Monday that it recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Aperion Energy Group, or AEG, a U.S. energy infrastructure developer, to provide maintenance services for power engines used at a data center.
Under the agreement, the two companies will cooperate for the long-term maintenance and operation of 33 power engines at a data center AEG is building in Texas.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries previously signed a contract with AEG in April to supply 684 megawatts of data center equipment based on 20-megawatt HiMSEN engines.
As the rapid development of artificial intelligence drives up electricity consumption at data centers, the reliability of backup and primary power supply systems has become a key factor in ensuring efficient data center operations.
HD Hyundai Marine Solution plans to use its cooperation with AEG as an opportunity to expand its presence in North America by highlighting the proven performance of HiMSEN engines and its engine maintenance capabilities.
The company said the partnership is expected to go beyond engine supply and lead to long-term service agreements, as well as operation and maintenance contracts.
“Through this cooperation, we aim to capture new demand in the North American data center market,” an HD Hyundai Marine Solution official said.
