Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Energy and infrastructure providers are securing large-scale contracts to meet the rising power demands of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in the United States. Initial developments included HD Hyundai Heavy Industries signing a USD 673.8 million contract with Corban Energy Group to supply 1,000 MW of power generation systems using HiMSEN engines. Additionally, Energy Vault secured a major agreement in Texas to supply 1.25 GW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and grid-forming power conversion systems for a hyperscaler AI data center, utilizing an off-grid design to avoid long utility interconnection queues. Following these developments, LS ELECTRIC expanded its involvement in the North American market by more than doubling a previous contract to supply 38kV high-voltage distribution systems to a major big tech company. The contract value increased from approximately $70.43 million to roughly $165.72 million. To support these requirements, LS ELECTRIC is utilizing local production facilities in Utah and Texas. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-24: LS ELECTRIC secures $165.7 million AI data center contract in North America LS ELECTRIC has more than doubled a contract with a North American big tech firm to supply $165.72 million in power equipment for AI data centers, citing high demand and proven delivery reliability. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ls-electric-secures-1657-million-ai-data-center-contract-in-north-america ### 2026-08-10: Energy providers secure major US data center power contracts Energy providers HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Energy Vault have secured major contracts to supply massive power and storage infrastructure for AI data centers in the United States. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/energy-providers-secure-major-us-data-center-power-contracts --- Cite as: US AI data center power infrastructure expansion.
