Equinix Hyangdong xScale campus (SL2x and SL3x)

OperationalUnder Construction

Campus-level grouping of adjacent Equinix SL2x and SL3x in Hyangdong, Goyang. SL2x is operational and contains the SL4 retail IBX. SL3x contractor records describe construction with a September 2025–December 2027 contract period; commissioning is unconfirmed. SL2x capacity publications conflict between 20 MW and 22 MW IT, with additional 24 MW whole-building reporting. No reconciled campus total is adopted.

2026-10-07Conflicting claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. As-of is retrieval date; sheet carries copyright 2024 without an established publication date. Technical table explicitly identifies IT power. Conflicts with current country FAQ.

2026-10-07Conflicting claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. As-of is retrieval date of undated current FAQ. SL2x sentence says supports 20 MW; preceding retail sentence explicitly uses IT capacity, but SL2x basis is not separately defined. Conflicts with 22 MW technical sheet.

2026-10-07Reported claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. As-of is retrieval date; copyright 2024 is not treated as publication date. Future design capacity, not evidence of energized capacity or opening.

Unspecified power
SL2x and SL3x combined joint-venture development

2022-01-26Reported claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. Announcement-date combined development forecast; overlaps individual facility claims and must not be added to them.

SL2x whole building including general-enterprise allocation
Operational · cumulative
2024-09-26Conflicting claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. Management remarks reported by Yonhap describe 2 MW allocated to general enterprises within 24 MW. This may explain part of the 22 MW distinction but does not reconcile the later 20 MW claim.

40 MW
Facility power
SL2x active electrical supply design
Operational · cumulative
2026-10-07Reported claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. Retrieval-date architect specification lists 40 MW active plus 40 MW standby. Standby is redundancy, not additional sellable capacity; actual energized demand is unknown.

2023-11-24Reported claim ↗

Excluded from capacity totals. Historical planned Q1 2024 phase capacity reported from earnings material; overlaps ultimate building capacity and is not proof of current live load.
