Deputy PM Ekniti chairs a new data-centre policy board, first meeting Friday 4 Sept. It will bring in the Bangkok governor, Energy and Natural Resources ministries to review data-centre projects that breach the law or their permit conditions. BOI has paused new data-centre investment promotions since April. Enforcement targets existing or accumulated projects, and new incentive rules are still to come. For most SMEs this is background: no direct change to costs or permits yet, but watch it if you supply power, construction, cooling or land services to data-centre projects.
