Reviewing the Power Infrastructure Market in Oceania

Hoban Group has embarked on a strategy to target the Oceania power infrastructure market in line with the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and the energy transition.

On July 13, Hoban Group announced that Daehun Kim, President of Planning, visited Australia for about a week starting from July 6 to discuss business cooperation plans with global partners and key clients, and to inspect the business sites of Taihan Cable’s Australian subsidiary.

This on-site management activity was arranged to respond to increased investment in AI data centers and power grids, and to strengthen the foundation for global cooperation.

Upon arrival in Sydney, Australia, President Kim met with executives from AirTrunk, a global data center development and operations company, to discuss ways to expand cooperation in the power infrastructure segment for data centers. The purpose was to share information about the demand for building power infrastructure driven by the expansion of AI data centers, as well as details on future projects.

He then met with representatives from Transgrid, Australia’s largest electricity transmission authority, to discuss the direction and detailed plans for the AI data center power grid construction project recently awarded to Taihan Cable. The parties agreed to strengthen their partnership by exchanging views on changes in Australia’s power grid and renewable energy market. Additionally, President Kim visited Taihan Cable’s Australian subsidiary to receive updates on business operations and progress of major projects, and to review market strategies in response to rising power demand in the Oceania region.

Hoban Group plans to continue visiting key overseas markets and strengthening cooperation with partners as part of its strategy to expand its global business.
