Hyosung Heavy Industries is intensifying its U.S. power infrastructure push, driven by the surge in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers that demand high-voltage equipment. The Korean power equipment maker secured a combined 386.5 billion won ($270 million) in contracts in a single month to supply ultra-high-voltage transformers to two U.S. Big Tech companies.
These include 220 billion won worth of 765-kilovolt transformers and 166.5 billion won worth of 345-kilovolt transformers. The equipment will be deployed at new AI data centers in the northern and southern parts of the United States. Hyosung's expansion is a response to the growing importance of power infrastructure in the AI industry, as hyperscale data centers require larger amounts of electricity.
The company is developing integrated solutions, including transformers, circuit breakers, energy storage systems, microgrids, and STATCOMs, to meet the evolving needs of data center operators. Additionally, Hyosung is strengthening its U.S. manufacturing footprint, with its Memphis, Tennessee plant undergoing expansion to increase its ultra-high-voltage transformer production capacity.
