South Korea’s Gaon Cable has supplied transmission cables worth tens of millions of dollars to a solar power complex in the United States, the company said Thursday, as rapid construction of artificial intelligence data centers drives investment in new power generation and transmission infrastructure.

The deal comes as the cable manufacturer expands its presence in the U.S. power infrastructure market. Industry officials expect U.S. demand for power generation facilities and transmission networks to rise further as South Korea implements legislation supporting strategic investments in U.S. artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure, the company said.

Gaon Cable has also begun supplying power cables for AI data centers in the United States. The company expects its U.S. exports to more than double from about 100 billion won ($66 million) last year to about 200 billion won ($132 million) this year, according to the company.

LSCUS, Gaon Cable’s U.S. subsidiary, has continued to expand. The subsidiary has secured long-term bus duct supply contracts worth more than 5 trillion won ($3.3 billion) with global technology companies and has recently added generative AI companies to its customer base.

Bus ducts are enclosed systems used to distribute large amounts of electricity within facilities such as data centers and factories. Gaon Cable said its product range now extends from transmission cables connecting power plants and data centers to bus ducts that distribute electricity inside data centers.

“Products related to AI data centers and renewable energy have higher added value than general industrial products and are helping improve profitability,” Gaon Cable Chief Executive Chung Hyun said.

“We plan to continue upgrading our business portfolio with a focus on high-value products,” Chung said.

The announcement follows a period of increased investment in U.S. power infrastructure, including federal loans for utilities, large-scale data center projects, and rapid growth in solar generation. As MSI previously reported, solar supplied more U.S. electricity than coal for the first time earlier this month, and the Army has proposed a 3-gigawatt AI data center at Fort Bliss, Texas, that would require substantial new transmission capacity.
