On October 13, LS Electric announced a $138.46 million (KRW 185.3 billion) contract to supply switchgear and distribution transformers for a major technology company's data center in Pennsylvania. The agreement covers 38-kilovolt high-voltage switchgear and distribution transformers, with deliveries set for April through July 2027. This contract strengthens an existing partnership that began in April 2025.
