What is the key considerations for DC proejct in Korea?
Securing electricity power supply and obtaining a building permit are salient points, given the public's complaints about Data Centre's electromagnetic waves.
Due to the increasing demand for DCs and the lack of power plants, the Korean government and KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) have promulgated new restrictions on the application of electricity supply for new DCs in the Seoul metropolitan area. Additionally, there is a rising concern about the electromagnetic waves from DCs, causing some DC projects to struggle in addressing public concerns, especially those adjacent to residential and school zones. Obtaining a building permit for an DC is unlikely to be approved if the public complaints are not resolved.
What kind of process is needed secure the electricity supply for DC?
To secure the electricity supply, the landlord should proceed with the pre-review application for electricity supply to KEPCO. KEPCO will provide an official letter to the landlord indicating whether they can supply sufficient electricity or not. Once the landlord receives the official supply review letter from KEPCO, they can then proceed to make an electricity supply contract with KEPCO, contingent upon the building permit outcome. If the building permit is not obtained, the electricity supply contract cannot be finalised.
What is the key considerations for Industrial estate?
Each industrial estate has a permitted purpose. The purchaser's business code should match the permitted purpose. The estate's purpose can be revised through changes to the official plan, but this process takes time and the revision might not be adopted by the governing authority.
Some municipalities and Free Economic Zones offer various incentives for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The purchaser should check the conditions of these incentives.
