LS Eco Energy announced today that its Vietnamese subsidiary, LS-VINA, has successfully secured prestigious KEMA certification for its advanced 230-kilovolt ultra-high-voltage cable. This pivotal achievement strategically positions LS-VINA for significant entry into the lucrative US power market, marking a major milestone for the company.
KEMA, a renowned Netherlands-based certification body, rigorously verifies compliance with international electrical safety and performance standards. This critical certification confirms that LS-VINA’s ultra-high-voltage cables meet stringent CS9 requirements for US power projects, thereby qualifying the company to supply essential components for large-scale electrical infrastructure development across the nation.
Demand across North America for robust power transmission networks is experiencing a substantial surge. This growth is primarily driven by escalating investments in AI data centers and the imperative need to upgrade aging power grids. The North American power market is projected to reach an impressive $7.9 billion by 2027, with high-voltage cable supply concentrated among a limited number of certified global manufacturers.
LS-VINA has already established a strong competitive edge in the high-voltage cable sector through its successful execution of major projects throughout Europe and Asia. With this new certification, the company is now strategically poised to expand its market presence aggressively into the North American region.
LS Eco Energy has consistently maintained robust operating margins, hovering around 7 percent, which significantly surpasses the industry average of 3 to 4 percent. This strong financial performance is largely attributed to the company’s successful shift towards developing and supplying higher value-added products. The company also reported record-breaking earnings in the first quarter of 2026, underscoring its sustainable growth.
“This KEMA certification represents an important strategic step, solidifying LS Eco Energy’s role as a global hub for delivering cutting-edge power solutions to the North American market,” stated CEO Lee Sang-ho.
The company further emphasized its commitment to strengthening its global footprint in alignment with the accelerating worldwide investment in critical power infrastructure projects.
