NFD Korea Builds 300MW AI Data Center Campus in South Korea

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Data center development and consulting company NFD Korea is advancing a 300MW AI-ready data center campus project in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. The company has secured the land, construction permits, and a 300MW power supply agreement with the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).

According to information released by NFD, the campus will be built in six phases and is specifically designed for AI training and inference workloads. The first phase of the project is targeted to achieve service-ready status in the first quarter of 2028. The facility supports liquid cooling, with rack power density up to 160kW depending on customer requirements.

Jae Woo Choi, CEO of NFD Korea, stated that the demand for AI and cloud infrastructure in South Korea is at a critical turning point. The project benefits from secured land, power supply, and permits, as well as its proximity to the Seoul metropolitan area, low risk of civil complaints within the industrial complex, and a campus structure that supports phased expansion.

In addition to the Dangjin project, NFD Korea is building multiple gigawatt-scale data center projects across South Korea, including an 80MW hyperscale data center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, which broke ground in September 2025 and is scheduled to begin operations in 2028, though no further details have been disclosed.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the South Korea data center market was valued at $1.65 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow from $1.99 billion in 2026 to $5.02 billion by 2031, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.38% during the forecast period. In terms of IT load capacity, the market is projected to grow from 1.96GW in 2025 to 6.32GW by 2030, at a CAGR of 26.29% during the forecast period.
