Hanwha Data Centers

What Hanwha Data Centers does

Hanwha Data Centers, a subsidiary of Hanwha Energy USA Holdings Corporation (part of Hanwha Group, a Fortune Global 500 Korean conglomerate), develops and operates energy infrastructure tailored for hyperscale and enterprise data centers in the United States and the Asia-Pacific region. Its core offering is "Energy Campus Infrastructure" — integrated sites that co-locate power generation, storage, grid interconnection, and data-center-ready land (what the company terms "Powered Land Development"). The energy mix combines solar photovoltaic arrays, battery energy storage systems (BESS), natural gas generation, green hydrogen production (supported by the world's largest fuel cell deployment at 50 MW), colocated substations, and microgrids. The Atlas Energy Project, one of the largest solar + BESS initiatives in the United States, is a flagship utility-scale asset within this portfolio.

The company sells directly to hyperscalers, colocation providers, and build-to-suit developers through a consultative, enterprise field sales motion in which customer power requirements and preferred energy mix drive solution design. Pricing is custom, quote-based, and contracted on multi-year terms; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Recurring revenue is generated through the affiliated Chariot Energy retail electricity brand, which offers 100% renewable retail power with flexible, no-minimum-demand pricing. US operations are headquartered in Irvine, California, with Seoul, Korea serving as the center for advanced technology leadership. A 2026 announced acquisition of a 324 MW natural gas-fired power plant in ERCOT (Texas) extends its owned-generation footprint, supporting the company's strategy of bypassing 5–7 year grid interconnection queues by co-locating generation with data center sites.
