Data centres drive LG’s integrated AI infrastructure push

AI infrastructure is becoming a central battleground for growth, with LG Group accelerating its push into AI data centres and energy storage systems under its ‘One LG’ strategy.

The initiative brings together key affiliates to deliver integrated solutions for AI data centres. LG Electronics provides cooling systems, LG Energy Solution handles power infrastructure, including ESS and UPS, while LG Uplus and LG CNS oversee design, construction, and operations.

The strategy comes as global demand for AI data centres surges, driven by energy-intensive workloads and rising electricity constraints. Expanding storage capacity has become critical, with the US expected to add over 24 gigawatts of energy storage capacity in 2026 alone.

LG Electronics is focusing on advanced cooling technologies, including large air-cooled chillers and liquid-cooling systems, to manage the intense heat generated by GPU-intensive AI workloads. The company has also expanded into immersion cooling through partnerships, aiming to achieve efficiency gains in next-generation facilities.

Meanwhile, LG Energy Solution is strengthening its role in power infrastructure, scaling ESS production across North America, and securing major contracts. Through integrated battery and software solutions, the company is positioning itself to meet growing demand for stable, high-capacity energy systems supporting AI operations.

On the networking side, LG Uplus is developing low-latency infrastructure and AI-driven data centre management systems to optimise performance and energy use in real time. Together, these efforts highlight LG’s ambition to become a full-stack provider in the rapidly expanding AI data centre ecosystem.
