Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Thailand approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Thailand.

Thailand, 2026-09-24. Thailand asked developers on 4 September 2026 to pause 49 data centres under construction and froze 117 pending approvals while it writes new rules, due by mid October. The government has said it cannot legally enforce the pause. No list of affected projects has been published, so no Thai project has changed stage on this basis. A separate data centre electricity tariff has been created with no rate set.

How well evidenced is it

Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. On record: named funder, disclosed client (confirmed), three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.

Cooling Confirmed source ↗
AWS says it did not use any water to cool its data centres in Thailand in 2025. It reports an average PUE of 1.38 for 2025 across AWS-operated data centres in the Thailand region. This is a measured annual figure, not a design PUE.
