LS Eco Energy Supplies Extra-High Voltage Cables to Microsoft Data Center

Supplying Power Grids to Global Big Tech Data Centers
Securing Growth Momentum Amid AI Big Tech Expansion

LS Eco Energy will supply extra-high voltage power cables to the power grid of a large-scale Microsoft (MS) data center currently under construction in Indonesia. As global big tech companies accelerate the expansion of their Southeast Asian hubs, demand for data center-specific power infrastructure is surging, and a Korean company has now entered this critical supply chain.

On September 2, LS Eco Energy announced that it has supplied extra-high voltage power cables to the power grid of a large-scale data center being built by a global big tech company in West Java, Indonesia. The big tech company has been identified as Microsoft.

This facility is a cloud region that connects multiple data centers to enhance stability and security, as well as improve response to failures. Recently, several global big tech companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have been establishing new regions in Indonesia, following Singapore and Malaysia, as they expand their strategies to target the Southeast Asian market.

In May, LS Eco Energy supplied medium- and low-voltage power cables to the 'STT Fairview Campus,' the largest data center in the Philippines. With this project, the company has expanded its business into the extra-high voltage cable sector.

Indonesia, with a population of 270 million and a strategic location, is emerging as the largest digital economy in Southeast Asia. In particular, the government's 'data localization policy' has led to a surge in investments in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers by global cloud companies. As one of the few companies capable of reliably supplying extra-high voltage cables in Southeast Asia, LS Eco Energy is expected to achieve record-high results this year. In addition, the company is further strengthening its growth momentum through new businesses such as submarine cables and rare earth materials.

Lee Sangho, CEO of LS Eco Energy, stated, "The Southeast Asian data center market is expected to grow at a double-digit annual rate. We will reinforce our local production and supply systems to expand our presence in the global cloud infrastructure supply chain."
