Gunsan AI Campus: SGC & OCI's 300 MW Deep Ocean-Cooled Hub
Status: Active / Approved Planning & Site Allocation Phase (Tracking June 2026) | Location: Gunsan National Industrial Complex 2, Oehang-ro, Gunsan-si, North Jeolla Province, South Korea
Project Overview
The SGC Energy & OCI Gunsan AI Data Center Campus is a massive, highly anticipated 300 MW digital infrastructure initiative located inside the Gunsan National Industrial Complex 2 in North Jeolla Province. Officially launched via a landmark trilateral partnership agreement in February 2026, the development signals industrial conglomerate OCI Group’s strategic transition into a dedicated AI energy infrastructure pioneer, shifting mega-scale data loads away from the grid-locked Seoul region. Advancing systematically through spatial engineering blueprints and site preparation protocols on a massive 115,000-square-meter (35,000-pyeong) industrial plot in mid-2026, the facility addresses South Korea’s national strategy for regional digital infrastructure diversification. The coastal mega-campus is engineered explicitly for the extreme power and heat requirements of generative AI processing. Phase 1 introduces a 40 MW highly dense modular data block with construction scheduled to break ground by the end of 2026. Global big tech enterprises have already demonstrated early pre-leasing interest due to the facility's highly secure, independent on-site power infrastructure.
