LS Electric will supply high-voltage transformers for a major hyper-scale artificial intelligence (AI) data center project in North America.

The company announced on October 1 that it has signed a contract worth $133.4 million (approximately 181.2 billion won) to provide 345kV high-voltage transformers for the North American hyper-scale AI data center project.

This initiative involves the construction of large-scale AI data centers and power transmission and distribution infrastructure across North America. The transformers are set to be delivered sequentially to nine substations by 2030.

Recently, the demand for high-voltage transformers, switchgear, and other power infrastructure has surged in North America due to the rapid increase in the construction of gigawatt-scale data centers aimed at securing large-scale AI computing infrastructure.

LS Electric plans to continue expanding its opportunities in AI data center projects by offering solutions across the entire spectrum of power transmission and distribution, from high-voltage transformers to high- and low-voltage distribution systems.

A company representative stated, "This order reflects our recognized technology and supply capabilities in the North American hyper-scale AI data center project. We aim to secure additional orders in the North American AI data center power infrastructure market based on our established reference for 345kV supply."
