Authorities have ordered a pause on utility connections for data centre projects that have not yet started construction, even where early agreements exist. A new national committee will set rules covering zoning, electricity supply and water supply, with a policy conclusion expected within about one month. Bangkok says it will inspect the three already-operating projects for community impact. For most SMEs this is background, but if you supply construction, land, or utility-related services to data centre developers, expect delays in the next month.
