🇹🇭Thailand approved seven-tier data-center regulation, requiring projects consuming 20 MW or more to locate in industrial areas.

Thailand’s cabinet approved the policy on November 10, establishing classification by electricity consumption. Projects below 20 MW may locate in commercial areas, while projects consuming 20 MW or more must locate in industrial areas.

The seven reported categories are below 0.5 MW; 0.5–5 MW; 5–10 MW; 10–20 MW; 20–50 MW; 50–200 MW; and 200 MW or above. These are regulatory electricity-consumption categories, not GPU counts, server capacity, or storage-energy ratings.

The government will establish a one-stop service center to coordinate project screening, approvals, and information management. Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society will lead implementation, supported by a data-center information platform that consolidates project details.
