LS Eco Energy (229640) is accelerating its push into the North American distribution infrastructure market with the supply of medium-voltage (MV) underground cable to a U.S. solar power plant. As AI data center construction and renewable energy investment surge across the United States, demand for distribution networks that connect power generation facilities is growing just as rapidly as demand for the facilities themselves. The company’s strategy is to boost order responsiveness through production and sales coordination among its affiliates.
The supply was structured with Gaon Cable’s (000500) U.S. subsidiary LSCUS signing the contract with a local customer, while LS Eco Energy’s Vietnam production arm LS-VINA manufactured and delivered the product. The cable serves as critical distribution infrastructure that collects power generated within the solar plant and transmits it to substation equipment.
Company officials said LSCUS is more than doubling its local production capacity in response to surging U.S. demand for MV cable. The plan is to simultaneously operate the Vietnam production base to meet rapidly growing demand.
LS-VINA’s MV cable exports to the U.S. are projected to increase more than 20% compared to last year. This goes beyond simple volume expansion—it demonstrates that the collaboration model among LS Group affiliates is delivering tangible results in the U.S. power infrastructure market.
LS Eco Energy is not stopping at MV cable supply; the company is also pursuing entry into the U.S. extra-high-voltage cable market. Building on its track record of extra-high-voltage cable supply in Europe and Singapore, the company recently secured U.S. 230kV cable certification. Industry observers view this certification as a bridgehead for entering the North American extra-high-voltage power grid market.
Lee Sang-ho, CEO of LS Eco Energy, said: “Gaon Cable is enhancing order responsiveness by linking U.S. local production with affiliate production bases, while LS Eco Energy is expanding exports to North America. We will strengthen our North American market push based on inter-affiliate synergy.”
In the United States, power demand is structurally increasing as AI data center construction accelerates. Data centers require stable, high-capacity power supply, driving investment not only in generation facilities but also in the distribution and transmission infrastructure that delivers electricity. Solar and other renewable energy plants are likewise seeing growing cable demand to transport generated power to substation facilities.
In this market environment, LS Eco Energy plans to continuously expand distribution cable supply in new U.S. power infrastructure markets, including solar power plants, through its partnership with Gaon Cable. Attention is focused on whether the “one-team” strategy combining LSCUS’s local sales network with LS-VINA’s production capacity will establish itself as a competitive model in the North American market.
