The project is part of an onsite, fuel-cell-based power generation project for a global big tech company's data center under construction in Pennsylvania. Onsite power generation is a distributed power system in which fuel cells, gas turbines, and other equipment are installed directly on the premises of data centers or large industrial facilities to produce and consume the required electricity locally. It is considered a key power solution in the AI era.


Under the contract, LS ELECTRIC will make phased deliveries of 38-kilovolt (kV) high-voltage switchgear and large-capacity distribution transformers from April through July 2027. The contract also marks a milestone: LS ELECTRIC's cumulative orders from Bloom Energy will surpass $500 million, just 18 months after the two companies began working together in April 2025.


The significance of this major project lies in the bundled, integrated supply of switchgear and distribution transformers, both essential for meeting the power demands of high-density AI data centers. It signals that LS ELECTRIC's competitiveness in turnkey solutions covering the entire power system, beyond the supply of individual equipment, has been validated by a North American big tech customer.


To build on this momentum, LS ELECTRIC is accelerating its localization strategy, leveraging its world-class power distribution technology and ability to meet tight delivery schedules. Using LS ELECTRIC Utah and its Bastrop Campus in Texas as footholds, the company has established a fully localized value chain spanning sales, design, production, and maintenance (after-sales service), enabling it to respond immediately to demand from North American customers.



An LS ELECTRIC representative said, "This contract is a major achievement that once again demonstrates our superior project execution capabilities by supplying a package of large-scale switchgear and transformers to a data center operated by a top-tier global big tech company. We will further strengthen our strategic partnership with Bloom Energy and leverage our robust local production infrastructure and differentiated power distribution solutions to secure a leading position in North America's rapidly expanding AI data center power market."
