TAIPEI, June 6 (Reuters) - Key Apple and Dell

supplier Pegatron ( PGTRF ) is in the final stage of

evaluating its U.S. factory plan and is set to unveil a decision

this month or next, its president and CEO Kuang-Chih Cheng told

shareholders on Friday.

Key considerations for the Taiwan company include land and

labour costs, with electricity being the most critical factor

for artificial intelligence server production, Cheng told an

annual meeting.

"Like many of our peers and competitors, the areas we're

considering are likely to be similar," he said in response to a

query about potential locations.

Taiwan manufacturers Foxconn, Inventec

and Wistron ( WICOF ) have recently announced expansion plans in

the U.S. state of Texas.
