LS Electric and LG Uplus are moving to build the power backbone for the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, joining forces on direct current infrastructure as demand for energy-intensive AI systems grows.
LS Electric said Tuesday it signed a memorandum of understanding with LG Uplus on Tuesday at LS Yongsan Tower in Seoul to jointly develop AI data center power infrastructure and strengthen competitiveness in the sector.
The agreement was signed by LS Electric Chairman Koo Ja-kyun and LG Uplus CEO Hong Bum-sik, alongside other executives from both companies.
The partnership aims to secure stable power infrastructure as electricity consumption at AI data centers rises and to develop future-oriented solutions, including next-generation direct current distribution technology.
