LG CNS completed a 30-megawatt hyperscale AI data center in Jakarta, while Samsung SDS began construction of a separate facility in Gumi.

LG CNS’s Jakarta site secured customers for its full capacity and could expand to 400 MW; Samsung SDS’s Gumi center will initially provide 60 MW and expand to 120 MW.

Samsung SDS targets completion by the end of 2028, while both facilities use or plan high-density cooling and redundant infrastructure for AI workloads.

The records describe two separate South Korean AI data center developments: LG CNS completed a 30-megawatt hyperscale facility in Jakarta for Indonesian client KMG, while Samsung SDS began constructing a 60-megawatt center in Gumi, South Korea. LG CNS’s site secured customers for its full capacity before construction ended and is being designed for a later expansion to 400 MW. Samsung SDS’s Gumi facility, planned for completion by the end of 2028, will be expandable to 120 MW and forms the first step in Samsung Group’s 60 trillion won ($44.6 billion) Yeongnam investment plan. Both projects are designed to support high-density AI computing with resilient power systems and advanced cooling, while their operators plan to serve external customers and affiliated businesses.
