Your call. Will it be built?

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

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. On record: named funder, disclosed client (reported), dated, sized phase, three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

Confirmed hyperscaler anchor on phase 1 (Evolution, via DCD 2026-09-04) on a 2024-design carrier-neutral build. Tenant identity undisclosed.

Access to AI chips

GradeNo US licence required

This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria.

12 MW · Pre-lease of the full 12MW first phase of TH01, multi-year; phase 2 adds 40MW in Q2 2027 · as of 2026-09-04

DCD reports Evolution DC signed a multi-year pre-lease for the whole 12MW phase 1 of TH01 Bang Na with an unnamed tier 1 global hyperscaler, ready for service Q4 2026. ArusGrid carries this client as confirmed; the only document found is press, so the sourced status is reported unless Evolution's own release or the IFC disclosure is located.
