Overview
As new energy regulations emerged, data centers like Samsung SDS began facing limitations on new infrastructure due to their high electricity demand. Despite past DR participation, Samsung SDS lacked clear insights on power monitoring, energy trading, and optimization strategies, making it harder to build confidence in operations and maximize the value of participation.
Enel X Korea provided Samsung SDS with tailored support, offering actionable insights into the electricity market and energy efficiency, real-time power monitoring tools, and advance notifications for DR dispatch events. In addition, a customized participation plan was developed to align with the operational characteristics of the data center.
This comprehensive approach enabled Samsung SDS to participate actively in the DR program with minimal disruption to its mission-critical operations, while also contributing to blackout prevention and enhancing grid stability in the region.

Through its participation in Enel X Korea’s DR program, Samsung SDS achieved a range of benefits. The initiative helped improve grid stability and prevent potential blackouts by enabling flexible energy usage during critical periods. Reliable participation in the program created a new revenue stream, while the optimized use of self-generated power enhanced overall operational efficiency. These efforts also led to a reduction in electricity costs. Furthermore, by supporting the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, Samsung SDS strengthened its commitment to long-term sustainability.
