Building an AI Data Center in 8 Months

A new option emerges in the Japanese AI data center market. Grand Energy Co., Ltd. (GEC), a supplier of power infrastructure to global top companies including the world's largest semiconductor foundry, global memory manufacturers, and Taiwan Power Company responsible for Taiwan's national power supply, and which has protected the core power systems of these companies for 18 years, is fully entering the Japanese AI data center market. It is highly significant that a company that has long protected the "power that must never stop" of semiconductor manufacturing lines is embarking on building AI infrastructure in Japan. The point of contact for GEC in the Japanese market is Standard Link Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Toshiyuki Onishi), a technology venture that has acquired numerous patents in the fields of AI image analysis and camera technology. The company has signed a market strategy business alliance with GEC, becoming the sole partner to deploy GEC's technology in the Japanese market. What is noteworthy is the "8-month construction" realized by modular technology with a track record of over 2,500 deployments in 58 countries worldwide by a global electrical machinery company, and the "completely closed network" that protects intellectual property. A service that realizes these two simultaneously is currently a blank space in the Japanese market. Signing Ceremony Held at the Imperial Hotel On April 20, 2026, a signing ceremony for the strategic business alliance between Standard Link Co., Ltd. and Grand Energy Co., Ltd. (GEC) was held at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. The signing ceremony was attended by the Deputy Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan, as well as many government officials and industry leaders from Taiwan. In addition, the son of Mr. Kwoh-Ting Li, known as the father of Taiwan's high-tech industry, also attended, adding grace to the significance of this alliance that inherits the historical lineage of Taiwan's technology industry. This alliance serves as a bridge between Japan and Taiwan in the AI data center field. By combining the technological capabilities that have supported the power infrastructure of Taiwan's proud semiconductor industry with Japan's AI technology development capabilities, it is expected to contribute to the development of the AI industry in both countries. At the signing ceremony, representatives from both companies signed the agreement, taking the first step towards building a cooperative system for the AI data center business in the Japanese market. Why "8 Months"? - Construction Speed Determines Success or Failure Next-generation GPUs (NVIDIA H100/H200/B200) consume 30-140kW of power per rack. In Japan, conventional construction methods take more than two years from planning to operation. "Slow construction" is not merely a scheduling issue. In the AI world, a six-month delay in the operation of a computing environment directly leads to the loss of technological advantage and market opportunities. Even if GPUs are secured, the investment cannot be recovered without a place to run them. In this alliance, by combining the modular technology of a global electrical machinery company with GEC's design and construction capabilities, we will achieve the start of operations within a target of 8 months through modular equipment construction. <> Advantage | Content Construction Speed | Parallel prefab manufacturing in factories and on-site construction. Target operation start within 8 months. Phased Expansion | Capacity addition by module unit. Keep initial investment low and scale up according to business growth. Uniform Quality | Brought in after manufacturing and integration testing are completed in a controlled factory environment. Ensures reliability equivalent to Tier 3. Installation Flexibility | Power and cooling installed outdoors, concentrating indoor space on IT equipment. Adapts to urban land constraints. Risk Reduction | Approximately 90% standardized with products from the same manufacturer. Minimizes multi-vendor adjustment risks.
