TAIPEI, May 20 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn,

the world's largest contract electronics maker, said on Tuesday

an artificial intelligence centre it has announced with Nvidia ( NVDA )

will be built in phases and is targeted to have 100

megawatts of power.

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu was speaking at Taipei's annual

Computex trade show a day after Nvidia ( NVDA ) announced it will build a

giant AI supercomputer in Taiwan in partnership with Foxconn,

contract chipmaker TSMC and the government.

Liu said the AI data centre will require massive power and

will be built in phases, with some planned in the southwestern

city of Kaohsiung and others potentially located in other cities

across Taiwan, depending on power availability.

"This AI data centre is targeted to have 100 megawatts of

power," he said. "We know that power is a very critical resource

in Taiwan. I don't want to use the word 'shortage'. So it will

take a few steps to reach 100 megawatts. We'll start with 20

megawatts ... then add another 40."

Nvidia's ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the same event, said the

AI centre was for the whole Taiwan ecosystem to use.

"We're going to build an AI factory right for you (Foxconn)

to use, for me to use, and for Taiwan the entire ecosystem to

use, Huang said, adding that Nvidia ( NVDA ) has 350 partners in Taiwan.
