SEOUL, South Korea, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) has secured official NVIDIA certification for its 600kW Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU). This milestone validates the reliability and efficiency of LG’s liquid cooling solutions and thermal management technology with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure standards, supporting the company’s continued expansion in the AI data center cooling market.

Reliable Partner for Global Hyperscalers

As one of the select few companies globally to pass NVIDIA’s technical verification process, LG successfully validated its 600kW CDU against more than 100 technical evaluation criteria. These metrics are designed to standardize cooling performance, reliability and failover capabilities for high-density AI Factories.

The certification marks a strategic milestone for LG, strengthening the company’s position as an officially verified NVIDIA partner for AI Factory infrastructure. For global hyperscalers and data center operators, this designation provides greater confidence in supplier selection by reducing procurement risks and accelerating qualification for large-scale AI infrastructure deployments.

Chip-To-Chiller Cooling Solution Provider 

LG’s NVIDIA-certified 600kW CDU is engineered to manage the thermal demands of high-heat AI GPUs. By implementing a Direct-to-Chip (DTC) liquid cooling solution that delivers coolant directly to heat-generating components such as GPUs and CPUs, the unit creates a highly efficient “hybrid cooling” system that operates in synergy with existing air-cooling infrastructure.

The unit is designed to achieve a temperature control precision of ±0.25 degrees Celsius*, helping enhance system thermal stability and support reliable AI server operation. It also integrates virtual sensor technology for real-time monitoring and leak detection capabilities. Paired with LG’s Data Center Cooling Control Manager (DCCM), the solution enables predictive control and centralized monitoring, while supporting seamless integration with data center management systems through standard communication protocols.

To ensure comprehensive reliability, LG evaluates these solutions at its dedicated Chip-to-Chiller validation site in Pyeongtaek. Here, the company tests system-wide transient responses, temperature changes and low-load stability across the entire cooling chain—from the AI chip load and cold plates to the CDU and chiller. By meeting NVIDIA’s strict failover requirements, the CDU is engineered to maintain operational stability even under highly demanding conditions.

LG aims to further solidify its position as a trusted AI data center infrastructure partner with a comprehensive “Chip-to-Chiller” portfolio, offering end-to-end thermal management solutions from the chip level to the cooling plant. The company’s end-to-end offering includes chillers that produce chilled water, CDUs that distribute coolant and cold plates that deliver cooling directly to AI chips—the core components of liquid cooling systems for AI data centers.

Expanding AI Infrastructure Capabilities

This certification serves as the starting point for LG’s broader AI infrastructure business expansion. Moving forward, LG plans to sequentially secure NVIDIA certifications for entire large-capacity CDU lineups, including its 1MW, 2.5MW and 4MW models.

Backed by 60 years of engineering expertise in the HVAC sector, LG’s CDUs are designed for high-density AI data center environments, offering precise temperature control, advanced control capabilities and high reliability. The company also strengthens its competitiveness by producing key components in-house, including inverter systems and magnetic bearing compressors—core technologies widely applied across its chiller portfolio.

LG has recently secured major global data center cooling projects, including hyperscaler facilities in North America and the Sinar Mas data center, SM+ Data Center’s flagship AI-ready facility in Jakarta, Indonesia. By leveraging its core technological capabilities, LG aims to expand global orders and strategic partnerships in the next-generation AI data center market.

“As AI data centers continue to scale, the need for highly reliable liquid cooling solutions has never been greater,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “Leveraging our advanced cooling technologies together with the LG Group’s integrated infrastructure capabilities, we are expanding our AI infrastructure business with end-to-end solutions that help enable Physical AI, where AI creates value in real-world environments.”

STOCKHOLM, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the Nordics in Ånge, Sweden has now been taken into commercial operation. Sungrow, a global leader in battery storage and PV inverters, delivered its utility BESS PowerTitan 2.0 for the 70 MW / 160 MWh battery system developed by Delta Capacity. Designed to deliver high reliability and efficiency, the system is built to operate under challenging Nordic weather conditions and extreme temperature variations.

The Ånge BESS will contribute to balancing Sweden’s power system, offering rapid response capabilities and capacity for both frequency regulation and arbitrage across the volatile Nordic power market. Sweden’s battery storage market is expanding rapidly as the country’s energy transition accelerates. The regulatory framework has enabled battery storage to participate in balancing markets, turning it into a revenue-generating asset, according to a report from SolarPower Europe. Sweden and Finland together installed more than 1 GWh of new battery capacity in 2025[1].

“Ånge is a great example of how large-scale energy storage is built in practice. Fast, at the right scale, and with the right partners like Delta Capacity. Our role is to be a long-term partner and contribute to expanding renewable energy capacity in Sweden,” says Samer Nameer, Country Manager Sweden at Sungrow.

Fast deployment for the Nordic energy transition

The Ånge project is owned by a joint venture between WOOD & Company Renewables Sub-Fund and Delta Capacity, which has led the project from design to completion. From procurement start to commercial operation took 15 months. The facility is located in bidding zone SE2 and contributes to balancing the Swedish power system.

Patrik Hes, CEO of Delta Capacity: “The Nordic energy transition is moving fast and requires infrastructure that keeps the same pace. Sweden has great renewable resources, but flexibility is missing and that is exactly what Ånge provides. 160 MWh of storage, delivered in 15 months. Delta Capacity’s goal is to keep building faster and at a greater scale. The energy transition cannot wait.”

The project was acquired from RES in February 2025. Other suppliers in the project are Stenger & Ibsen Construction, Rejlers, Green Power Monitor, Solvina and Ellevio. Centrica Energy manages the buying and selling of electricity for the facility around the clock.

Local presence with a global footprint

Sungrow Europe currently has 25 local offices, two research and development centres and 26 warehouses across Europe. The Swedish team with dedicated experts for Services, and energy solutions is based in Stockholm, with other Scandinavian offices in Malmö, Copenhagen and Helsinki. Among its most recent projects in the Nordic region are the Nordic region’s largest solar roof in Sweden[2] (14 MW) and the northernmost solar project in Finland[3] (70 MW).”
