Thailand has formulated new data center approval regulations. With the rise of the boom in artificial intelligence investment, the high electricity and water consumption of data centers has raised concerns, and Thailand will carry out a national review of related projects. According to this framework, Thailand plans to accept applications for new data center projects in batches. Project developers submit plans to the audit committee, and there is no longer a need to separately apply to multiple departments for electricity and water support and investment incentive policies. Thai Economic Planning Agency Secretary General Danucha Pichayanan told reporters on Tuesday evening that Prime Minister Anutin Samvirakul's cabinet is expected to approve the policy next week.
