EEC secretary-general Chula Sukmanop proposed dedicated data-centre zones in the Eastern Economic Corridor, with new generation built for new demand rather than drawing on existing supply. Potential demand is at least 20 GW, and an indicative power cost of about 5-6 baht per unit was mentioned. Policy and the data-centre board's conditions are still pending, with no timeline given. For most small Thai businesses this is background: it may affect future EEC electricity prices and supply planning, but nothing needs to change now.
