Digital Edge has acquired a fully powered land parcel in Ansan, South Korea, supported by a 90 megavolt-amperes (MVA) power agreement, to develop SEL5 – a 60-megawatt, hyperscale, artificial intelligence (AI)-ready data center that further strengthens its position as a leading digital infrastructure platform in South Korea.
Secured early in the project lifecycle, the power agreement is among the largest in Ansan and addresses one of the key constraints in a supply-constrained market. The site will feature a dual-feed power architecture supported by two independent 154 kilovolt (kV) substations, enhancing grid resilience and supporting 99.999 percent availability for mission-critical AI and cloud workloads.
Designed to Digital Edge’s next-generation standards, SEL5 will support ultra high-density workloads and advanced liquid-cooling technologies. The facility’s cooling architecture, including a chiller plant with integrated free cooling, is expected to achieve a
