South Korea plans to build a new semiconductor center in the southwestern region within four years. It is estimated to cost at least 800 trillion won, and the target is to be completed and put into operation by 2030. However, the huge amount of electricity and water resources required for the project aroused opposition from local people, and progress of the project was seriously hampered. Industry experts said that if large-scale infrastructure expansion is not accelerated, it will be difficult for the industrial park to operate at full capacity by 2030, and the impact will affect the entire semiconductor industry chain.
