Thailand's EEC (Eastern Economic Corridor) is attracting major data center investments led by Chinese and Singaporean investors, with Japan maintaining steady 5% annual growth. The government is addressing critical infrastructure bottlenecks—water and electricity—through a pilot water-recycling scheme for cooling systems and expanding Direct Power Purchase Agreement (Direct PPA) access to enable private renewable energy supply. These moves aim to strengthen investor confidence while accelerating clean energy infrastructure that benefits broader industrial transformation including automation and advanced manufacturing.
