LS Eco Energy Exports Bus Ducts to Southeast Asian Data Centers for the First Time

First Case of Expanding Beyond Vietnam's Domestic Market into Southeast Asia

LS Eco Energy is accelerating its market expansion by exporting bus ducts to data centers in Southeast Asia. This is significant as it marks the expansion of a business that was previously limited to the Vietnamese domestic market to the entire Southeast Asian region.

On October 13, LS Eco Energy announced that it will supply bus ducts to a data center currently under construction in Batam, Indonesia, through its Vietnamese production subsidiary, LSCV. This is a 50MW hyperscale (ultra-large) data center, and it is the first case where bus ducts produced by LS Eco Energy have been supplied beyond the Vietnamese domestic market.

A bus duct is a power distribution system that supplies large amounts of electricity within a building by placing plate-shaped conductors inside a metal case. Compared to standard wiring, it reduces energy loss by more than 30% and lowers the risk of fire and electric leakage, making it an optimal product for large-scale data centers. LS Eco Energy established production facilities at its Vietnamese subsidiary, LSCV, in 2018, leveraging the technological expertise of LS Cable & System, which has maintained the top market share in the domestic bus duct sector.

LSCV has supplied bus ducts to the data center of Viettel, the Vietnamese state-owned telecommunications company, and has also secured references by delivering power cables for global data center projects in the Philippines and Indonesia.

Southeast Asia is a key market where global investment is rapidly increasing due to the spread of cloud computing and fintech (finance + technology), as well as data localization policies in each country. In particular, Vietnam allows foreign companies to have 100% ownership of data centers, and large-scale investments by global big tech companies are expected to accelerate.

Lee Sangho, CEO of LS Eco Energy, stated, "The growing demand for power infrastructure, driven by increased investment in data centers, will present significant growth opportunities for LS Eco Energy. We will lead the market with a full lineup that covers everything from power cables to bus ducts, spanning both transmission and distribution."
