AI data centre grid code to be introduced this year; Cho Kyung-tae says exemptions needed for existing projects
South Korea is pushing to introduce a dedicated grid code for AI data centres by year-end, but a ruling party lawmaker said existing data centre projects should be exempt. Cho Kyung-tae urged the Ministry of Science and ICT to minimise regulatory application to ongoing projects, warning that new technical standards could raise costs and delay completion. He also said added equipment could reduce server capacity and called for inter-ministry coordination.
