Feb 05, 2026 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

South Korean energy company SGC Energy is set to build a 300MW data center in Gunsan, marking its first foray into the AI data center business.

The 300MW facility will be built at the Gunsan National Industrial Complex 2, the largest of two industrial areas located around Gunsan that house shipbuilding facilities, power plants, battery production facilities, and more. According to the company, the data center will be built on approximately 100,000 sq ft (9,290 sqm) of land already owned by SGC Green Power, an affiliate of SGC Energy.


KT, one of South Korea's largest telcos and a budding data center operator, and Mirae Asset Securities, an investment bank and stock brokerage, will be involved in the project as well.

There are 104 data centers in South Korea.
