Background

The People Power Party (PPP), known in Korean as 국민의힘, is a South Korean Conservative political party represented in the National Assembly. Party MP Cho Kyoung-tae took part in the October 2026 debate over proposed grid rules for AI data centres.

South Korea's climate and energy ministry planned to publish those rules before the end of 2026. They would require sites to stay online through power faults and keep voltage stable. Cho argued that projects already under way should be exempt, while the rules should still protect grid safety. His intervention concerned whether gigawatt-scale campuses starting at Ulsan and Donghae would need to redesign their power systems.
