Domestic power equipment diagnostics specialist "ISAAC GRIDIAN" said on the 20th that it signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Miami with data center development partner Centurion Venture Partners to cooperate on data center and power infrastructure projects.
The agreement aims to respond to the surging power demand from data centers in the United States and constraints on the power grid. The two companies agreed to establish a cooperative framework that links data center development with power generation and power infrastructure construction. They also plan to jointly identify practical business opportunities in the U.S. market.
Under the agreement, Centurion Venture Partners will handle data center development functions, including securing key demand sources, site identification, due diligence, and project management. ISAAC GRIDIAN will lead the power infrastructure segment. In particular, ISAAC GRIDIAN will provide behind-the-meter (BTM) power solutions, connect with generation infrastructure, supply transformers and switchgear, and consolidation to a network of Korean investors.
The BTM power solution is a business model that plans and advances data centers and generation infrastructure simultaneously. The model goes beyond simple power equipment supply and aims to solve both the power shortage in the United States and delays in transmission grid consolidation.
The U.S. data center market is about $208.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to about $308.8 billion by 2030. McKinsey also analyzed that cumulative global investment in data center infrastructure will reach about $7 trillion by 2030. More than 40% of that is expected to be concentrated in the United States.
In particular, power demand is surging in the United States as AI and hyperscale data centers expand. With the existing grid alone, it is difficult to meet demand in a timely manner, and BTM-linked models based on self-powered and dedicated power are spreading rapidly.
An ISAAC GRIDIAN official said, "This MOU is a milestone showing that our company is transitioning in the U.S. market from a simple power equipment supplier to a strategic partner that handles power infrastructure planning and execution and capital consolidation," adding, "By collaborating with Centurion Venture Partners, we will organically connect data center development and power supply structures, and in the mid to long term, expand into a platform-type business model that consolidations domestic power equipment corporations, investors, and local U.S. projects."
