AI data center power solutions on display
Powernet, trading at 2,845 won, up 155 won or 5.76%, said on November 4 that it is stepping up its efforts to enter the power supply unit market for AI data centers with an internally developed 8 kW-class high-output power solution.
The company showcased AI data center power solutions, including an 8 kW-class high-output power supply unit (PSU) and a Power Shelf integrated power module system under its Sovereign PSU brand, at Data Center Korea 2026. The exhibition is being held at the aT Center in Yangjae, Seoul, from November 4 to November 6.
The exhibition provides an opportunity for Powernet to present its technology development results and commercialization strategy for expanding into high-output, high-efficiency AI data center power infrastructure, drawing on the power electronics technology and global manufacturing capabilities accumulated in its existing power supply business.
In particular, Powernet showcased an 8 kW-class high-output PSU under development to meet growing electricity demand from high-performance AI servers, along with an integrated power module system that combines these units in a modular configuration. The integrated system combines multiple PSU modules to supply stable power to server systems. Through this approach, Powernet's strategy is to expand from individual power supply units into system-level power solutions.
Next-generation technology and commercialization plans
The company is also pursuing common redundant power supplies (CRPS) and next-generation 800 V DC power technology development as medium- to long-term priorities. It plans to strengthen its next-generation power technology development capabilities through industry-academia collaboration and participation in government-funded projects, while pursuing domestic development of core AI data center power solutions and improving product competitiveness.
Powernet plans to use the exhibition to expand collaboration with Korean AI data center companies and technology partners. By identifying new customers and reviewing potential product applications, it plans to strengthen the business foundation for future mass production and commercialization.
A Powernet representative said, “As AI data centers become more powerful and electricity consumption increases, high-output, high-efficiency power solutions are becoming increasingly important.” The representative added, “Drawing on the technology and manufacturing capabilities accumulated in our existing power supply business, we will improve the competitiveness of our AI data center power solutions and develop new sources of growth through the development and commercialization of next-generation power technologies.”
Powernet was established in February 1994 to manufacture and sell electronic components. It also recently registered a trademark for Sovereign PSU, its next-generation PSU brand for AI data centers.
