Seoul, South Korea – June 8, 2026 - Digital Edge has secured 60 MW of power capacity for its planned SEL3 data center in Ansan, South Korea, strengthening the company’s expansion across one of Asia’s fastest-growing AI and hyperscale infrastructure markets.
The company said the power agreement represents a major milestone for the project and will support development of a large-scale, AI-ready digital infrastructure facility designed for hyperscale cloud platforms, enterprise workloads, and next-generation artificial intelligence deployments.
Located southwest of Seoul in Gyeonggi Province, the Ansan facility is strategically positioned within one of South Korea’s most important technology and connectivity corridors. Digital Edge said the campus will provide scalable, high-density infrastructure capable of supporting rapidly increasing AI compute requirements across the region.
According to the company, SEL3 has been designed to accommodate advanced AI workloads, including GPU-intensive training and inference environments that require higher rack densities, enhanced cooling systems, and substantial power availability.
“Securing long-term power capacity is one of the most critical factors in modern data center development,” Digital Edge said in the announcement, noting that rising AI demand is significantly reshaping infrastructure planning across Asia-Pacific markets.
The agreement comes as South Korea experiences accelerating investment in AI factories, sovereign AI infrastructure, and hyperscale cloud deployments. Global operators and domestic technology companies are increasingly expanding digital infrastructure in the country to support AI adoption, semiconductor innovation, and enterprise cloud growth.
Industry-wide, power access has become one of the defining constraints for data center expansion as AI workloads drive unprecedented electricity demand. Developers are increasingly competing for grid connections and transmission capacity capable of supporting large-scale GPU clusters and future compute growth.
Digital Edge said the Ansan facility will incorporate energy-efficient technologies and resilient infrastructure systems aligned with the company’s broader sustainability strategy. The company continues to expand its regional footprint across Asia, where demand for hyperscale and AI-ready data center capacity continues rising rapidly.
The SEL3 project forms part of Digital Edge’s growing portfolio of facilities across key Asia-Pacific markets, including Japan, Indonesia, India, China, and the Philippines. The company has increasingly focused on building AI-ready infrastructure platforms capable of supporting next-generation cloud and AI deployments.
South Korea has emerged as a strategically important market for AI infrastructure investment because of its advanced connectivity ecosystem, strong semiconductor industry, and growing enterprise AI adoption. Government support for AI innovation and digital transformation has further accelerated demand for high-capacity data center infrastructure.
Digital Edge did not disclose the total investment value or construction timeline for the Ansan facility but said the project represents a significant addition to the company’s long-term infrastructure strategy in Northeast Asia.
As AI infrastructure demand continues accelerating globally, projects such as SEL3 highlight the increasing importance of power-secured, high-density data center campuses designed specifically for the next generation of AI and cloud workloads.
