Deputy PM Ekniti will chair the first data centre policy committee on Friday 4 Sep 2026, with the Bangkok governor and energy ministry invited. BOI has stopped approving new data centres since April. Officials say they will enforce existing laws against unlicensed builds, and a review of fuel stockpiling at data centres is under way. For a typical SME this is background: it matters mainly if you supply, lease space to, or build for data centre operators, or if fuel supply tightens.
