AI Data Center EPC — Design, Procurement & Construction

Bringing the know-how of the Kagoshima 1GW project to your next data center.
Design, procurement and construction — one-stop support for building AI infrastructure.

Through the development of an AI data center cluster of up to 1GW in Satsumasendai, Kagoshima, we have accumulated hands-on expertise in site selection, substation design, liquid/air cooling and modular deployment. We have systematized this knowledge and now offer it end-to-end — from site due diligence through design, procurement, construction and operation — to companies and municipalities planning their own AI data centers.

From B200 and B300 to Vera Rubin
B200 and B300 deployments planned; ready for next-generation Vera Rubin
NVIDIA-designed rack-scale AI servers are manufactured by Taiwanese partners such as Wistron. Through our Japan–Taiwan network we have secured procurement routes that connect directly to these manufacturers, and we have a track record handling Taiwan-built, NVIDIA-designed AI data servers. Beyond planned B200 and B300 deployments, we are prepared for continued procurement into the next-generation Vera Rubin era. With global GPU allocations remaining tight, the ability to put delivery dates on a plan is what determines the schedule and cost of building an AI data center.

VISION

Why Kagoshima,
why now.

Kagoshima Prefecture will attract clients implementing Physical AI to deploy AI demand, and on that basis build a GW-class data center cluster. Considering room for expansion, ripple effects across the prefecture, and investment in electricity, water and fiber-optic infrastructure from multiple angles, we aim to create demand within the prefecture and establish a model project for large-scale regional revitalization.

SERVICES

One-stop
EPC solutions

At every step of the EPC process we listen carefully to our corporate clients, collaborate closely, and deliver customized solutions that fully meet their needs.

Site due diligence
Site selection determines the success of a data center build. We conduct due diligence from every angle to ensure performance and sustainability.
Design & procurement
We define the target performance and scale of the facility, and draw up realistic, cost-effective plans based on budget and schedule.
Facility supply & deployment
Procurement and deployment of the diverse equipment an AI data center needs, at fair prices. Deployment know-how gained from supporting 5MW-class and 20MW B200 server rollouts in the Tokyo area.
Construction & installation
All construction is handled by Kraftia and Seiko Electric of the Kyushu Electric Power group. Utility-group-quality construction management, honed on a 350MW substation build, applied to AI data center construction.
Power receiving & distribution
Support for all high-voltage supplies at 6kV/20kV/220kV. Reliable substation infrastructure backed by our 350MW substation track record, plus stable power and water supply against the target PUE.
O&M (facility management)

EPC PROCESS

What you ask for, what you get.
The five-stage EPC process

What matters to the client is that the deliverables of each stage are clear. We define five stages from site due diligence to operational handover, and build GPU-generation decisions into each of them. Because rack power, cooling method, floor loading and substation capacity are all determined by the GPU generation, running GPU procurement and EPC as one integrated process is the single biggest lever for cutting schedule and cost.

STEP 01
Site due diligence
Deliverable
DD report (available power capacity, grid interconnection, water rights, floor loading)
At this stage we fix whether to plan up to the B300 generation or to look ahead to Vera Rubin (configurations up to ~370kW per rack).
STEP 02
Design
Deliverable
Basic design documents, liquid-cooling system design, substation plan
The GB300 generation rejects roughly 90% of its heat through liquid cooling. System design accounts for W45-class coolant and flow rates of up to ~177 L/min per rack.
STEP 03
Procurement
Deliverable
Procurement list and delivery schedule
Allocation of NVIDIA-designed servers secured through our direct Taiwan route. When allocations are tight, simply holding a procurement slot is what drives the schedule.
STEP 04
Construction
Deliverable
Construction plan and quality records
Modular deployment shortens the on-site schedule. Construction management at Kyushu Electric Power group quality.
STEP 05
Operational handover
Deliverable
As-built documentation, acceptance testing (including GPU cluster burn-in), operations manual
Handover includes the EMS and GPU resource management that support the 82% utilization and PUE 1.2 targets on the operational side.
Typical risks when GPU procurement and EPC are contracted separately
Power shortfall — rack power and substation capacity fall short of a GPU generation chosen later.
Cooling mismatch — servers that require liquid cooling arrive at a facility designed for air cooling.
Schedule misalignment — facility completion and GPU delivery fail to line up, leaving investment idle.
NEXT-GEN GPU PLATFORMS

Design and build capability
for the latest GPU platforms

We have a track record handling Taiwan-built, NVIDIA-designed AI data servers, with B200 and B300 deployments planned and next-generation Vera Rubin support in preparation. Vera Rubin is manufactured by the Taiwanese supply chain including Wistron, so our direct Taiwan procurement network becomes our procurement power for the next generation. For every platform, we can design and build in either liquid- or air-cooled configurations.

* Figures are reference values based on public information as of August 2026. The design assumptions differ fundamentally from conventional data centers (5–10kW per rack, air-cooled). Once the GPU generation is fixed, the facility requirements are fixed — which is exactly why placing GPU procurement and EPC as one order cuts schedule and cost.

Construction of small modular data centers
Container-type and prefabricated modular data centers can be built on short schedules. Supporting small configurations from several hundred kW to several MW, we enable AI infrastructure — PoCs, edge sites, regionally distributed deployments — without relying on large facilities. Liquid or air cooling can be selected for modular configurations as well.
FACILITY & POWER ENGINEERING

Facility engineering that designs
power and cooling

The competitiveness of an AI data center is decided by the power and cooling infrastructure that keeps its GPUs running reliably. We design and build everything from substations to cooling and power management as one system, achieving both high utilization and high efficiency.

Server Utilization
82%
High server utilization
Stable power and cooling infrastructure plus operational optimization with GPU resource management software deliver 82% server utilization. Idle time is minimized so the computing power of your GPU investment is fully realized.
Cooling Efficiency
PUE 1.2
Power efficiency targeted with liquid cooling
A liquid cooling system centered on DLC (direct liquid cooling) is deployed, with the facility's overall power efficiency designed toward a PUE of 1.2. Power consumed by cooling is reduced and redirected to computing.
Substation & Distribution
220kV → 20kV
Substation and distribution from extra-high to medium voltage
We design and build the substation and distribution systems ourselves, from 220kV extra-high-voltage receiving down to 20kV medium-voltage distribution. Power infrastructure engineering capable of GW-class AI data centers, backed by our track record building a 350MW substation.
Integrated control with an Energy Management System (EMS)
We build a power management system that monitors everything from receiving, transformation and distribution to IT load and cooling equipment as one, and tracks the steep load swings characteristic of AI workloads. Power-quality maintenance, demand control and coordination with battery storage support achievement of the utilization and PUE targets on the operational side.
TRACK RECORD

Proven construction capability,
demonstrated by results

Through Taiwanese manufacturing partners such as Wistron, we handle NVIDIA-designed AI data servers (GB200/GB300 NVL72 class) end-to-end — from procurement through installation, power connection and commissioning. AI servers exceeding 120kW per rack cannot be accommodated by the design conventions of traditional data centers. A track record with real hardware is what underwrites a facility that will actually run. All construction is carried out by Kraftia and Seiko Electric of the Kyushu Electric Power group.
