LS Eco Energy is accelerating its entry into the ASEAN data center market by supplying busducts for the first time to a hyperscale data center in Malaysia.

On March 17, LS Eco Energy announced that its Vietnamese subsidiary, LSCV, had signed a contract to supply busducts to a hyperscale data center currently being developed in Malaysia by a global IT company.

The contract is valued at approximately 8 million dollars (about 12 billion won). LSCV plans to supply the products in phases according to the construction schedule for the data center in the Johor Bahru area of Malaysia.

Hyperscale data centers are massive facilities built to operate artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services. As large-scale power supply is essential, busducts capable of transmitting high volumes of electricity are a key part of the infrastructure.

Johor Bahru is rapidly emerging as a hub for new data center investments by global big tech companies, thanks to favorable conditions for power supply and site acquisition. Following its data center order in Indonesia last October, LSCV is now expanding into Malaysia, further accelerating the company's efforts to grow its presence in the ASEAN market.

Lee Sangho, CEO of LS Eco Energy, stated, "As the data center market is rapidly growing due to the expansion of AI and cloud services, the demand for power infrastructure is also increasing. We will strengthen our power infrastructure business, including busducts and power cables, to continuously expand our orders in the ASEAN data center market."

With the spread of AI data centers, the global busduct market is also showing rapid growth. LS Cable, which holds the top market share for busducts in Korea, supplies products mainly from its Gumi and LS Eco Energy Vietnam facilities, and is also constructing a new factory in Mexico to meet demand in North America.
