Samsung SDS: Haenam Solasido AI DC

Short Code: National AI Computing Center

Site planned for 2028 and has expansions through 2029

The Haenam Solasido AI Data Center is a flagship infrastructure development located within the Guseong District in Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea.

Backed by a ₩17 trillion (~$12.3B USD) investment package led by a Samsung SDS-anchored consortium, the facility serves as South Korea's premier National AI Computing Center. Designed as the anchor for a broader 1 GW zero-carbon data center park, the facility is planned to house ~15,000 high-performance GPUs powered directly by surrounding solar and offshore wind arrays. Groundbreaking is scheduled for H2 2026, with initial operations targeted for 2028.
