The Thai data centre market is projected to reach US$1.54 bn by 2030. Sustaining the growth will require Thailand to go beyond policy frameworks, delivering robust infrastructure, competitive energy solutions and a regulatory environment that instils investor confidence. 
 

As data centres account for an increasing share of global energy consumption, sustainability has become a key investment driver. The recent new draft released by the Energy Regulatory Commission that allows data centres to contract directly with renewable power producers while using the national grid represents an important steps Thailand is taking to integrate renewable energy into its data centre landscape.
