Thailand's government is drafting a new regulation to oversee data centre operations, establishing a dedicated committee to monitor electricity and water use as the sector expands. Current challenges include overlapping water reservations by operators and fragmented licensing across multiple agencies. The government plans to centralize approvals, implement zoning measures (potentially shifting new facilities away from the Eastern Economic Corridor), and develop alternative hubs like Mae Moh in Lampang to balance resource allocation among households, agriculture, and industry.
