This development was reported by government sources and aligns with ongoing discussions between South Korean and U.S. officials focused on the energy sector. The project aims to address rising electricity demands driven by AI data centers. As part of last year's trade deal, South Korea has pledged to invest $350 billion in the U.S., with an annual limit of $20 billion. Details of the project are anticipated to be officially released early next month.
