Overview
- HD Hyundai Heavy Industries said it signed a contract with U.S. developer Corban Energy Group to supply 1,000 MW of power generation systems for U.S. data centers at a value of USD 673.8 million, which the company describes as its largest-ever engine order.
- The supply centers on the 9.6‑megawatt HiMSEN medium-speed engine that the company says delivers high output and efficiency suitable for continuous 24/7 operation required by large data centers.
- The deal is structured through Corban as a channel to a major U.S. technology company, and it follows an April agreement in which HD Hyundai agreed to supply data-center power equipment to another U.S. developer.
- HD Hyundai plans to use group affiliates to offer a broader package of services, including power distribution equipment, engine maintenance, and research into floating data center technologies.
- Company statements cite Electric Power Research Institute projections of sharply higher data center electricity use through 2030, signaling that growing AI and cloud workloads may boost demand for on-site, high-reliability generation that this contract supplies.
