SK Innovation has announced a strategic collaboration with LG Electronics to develop and optimize integrated power and cooling solutions for AI data centers, a crucial infrastructure component in the modern digital era. This partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at SK Seorin Building in Seoul, bringing together expertise from both companies to drive innovation in energy solutions for data centers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Attending the ceremony were Kim Moo-hwan, Head of Energy Solution Business Division at SK Innovation, and Lee Jae-sung, Head of the ES Business Division at LG Electronics. Their collaboration aims to execute pilot projects delivering integrated energy solutions to data centers both domestically and internationally. The joint efforts will focus on technological advancement through R&D, exploring Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) business models, and developing solutions to utilize waste heat from data centers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership is structured around a long-term roadmap that includes joint technological collaboration, pilot implementations, and commercialization efforts. This comprehensive alliance seeks to expand the scope of business cooperation continuously. LG Electronics will utilize its global expertise in cooling technologies to provide Direct Chip Cooling (DTC) via Cooling Distribution Units (CDU), water and air-cooled inverter chillers, and sophisticated cooling control solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

SK Innovation, leveraging its extensive capabilities in energy solutions, will oversee power supply optimization and operations. This includes deploying AI-driven Data Center Management Systems (DCMS), designing auxiliary power systems (such as ESS and fuel cells), and implementing power peak reduction strategies. Through this collaboration, LG Electronics will benefit from enhanced power supply stability and efficiency, while SK Innovation will expand its data center cooling technology portfolio with LG’s advanced solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Jae-sung, Head of the ES Business Division at LG Electronics, commented, “This agreement empowers us to enhance our competitiveness in the global AI data center market by integrating cooling solutions with energy cost-reducing technologies, leveraging the synergy of our partnership.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Moo-hwan, Head of Energy Solution Business Division at SK Innovation, added, “Our joint efforts will establish us as a turnkey provider of integrated data center solutions, combining optimized technologies from both companies. We remain committed to advancing the energy industry, aligning with the AI era’s demands through strategic collaboration.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, SK Innovation signed an MOU with Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a prominent data center infrastructure company based in Singapore, to strengthen its leadership in delivering customized integrated energy solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n
