South Korea-based LS Eco Energy has secured a power cable supply contract for a large-scale AI data centre project in Vietnam being developed by military-run telecoms company Viettel Group. The project forms part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its position in Southeast Asia’s expanding AI infrastructure market.
Under the contract, LS Eco Energy’s manufacturing subsidiary LS-VINA, located in Haiphong, will supply power cables for the hyperscale AI data centre project in Hanoi. The facility will have a total planned capacity of 60 MW and is being developed to support increasing demand for generative AI and cloud computing services. The cables will be used to connect substations, the power grid and core data centre infrastructure. The Hanoi facility is linked to Viettel’s broader hyperscale data centre expansion programme, which includes the USD 664 million An Khanh data centre project and the planned 140 MW Tan Phu Trung data centre in Ho Chi Minh City.
LS Eco Energy stated that demand in the AI data centre sector is increasingly focused on power and telecommunications infrastructure alongside computing capacity. The company plans to expand further in the global AI infrastructure market through ultra-high-voltage cable products and integrated power and optical communication solutions for hyperscale data centres.
