Rising electricity demand from data centres is putting pressure on the country to expand generation and grid capacity, but shorter-term commitments from some operators could make it harder to recover the cost of those investments, said the country’s energy regulator.
As of 2025, solar electricity was already 50 per cent cheaper than gas on average across Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia, according to a Zero Carbon Analytics study. The cost gap is expected to widen to 84 per cent by the end of the decade.
Companies are consolidating, automating production and shifting workers away from factory floors toward sales and advanced products.
Developers are using AI to design and manage clean energy projects faster, but industry leaders say Thailand needs smarter grids and clearer rules to turn that capability into reliable power.
