South Korea to Build World’s Largest Data Centre

25 Feb 2025 CW Team

South Korea has approved the construction of the world’s largest data centre, a project expected to generate an initial revenue of $3.5 billion. The development, estimated at $10 billion in its initial phase, has the potential to expand to $35 billion.

Located in the Jeollanam-do province, the facility will have a 3GW capacity, making it a major milestone in Korea’s technological advancements. The data center is projected to be three times the size of current hyper-scale facilities operated by major tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.

The initiative is being led by a partnership that includes key industry figures and Stock Farm Road. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Jeollanam-do provincial government, setting the framework for collaboration. The facility is scheduled for completion by 2028, aligning with a rapidly expanding global data center market, which is forecasted to reach $438.70 billion by that time.

The project faces industry-wide challenges, including the rising demand for energy and water resources, along with continuous infrastructure upgrades required to support evolving technology. However, its scale and capabilities are expected to strengthen Korea’s position in the global data center industry, fostering technological growth and economic benefits for the region.

Countries worldwide are accelerating data center infrastructure investments. In the U.S., Meta has committed $10 billion to a similar project, though it is expected to create only 500 direct jobs once operational. The increasing demand for large-scale data facilities underscores the critical role of such developments in the digital economy.
