Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Thailand approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Thailand.

Thailand, 2026-09-24. Thailand asked developers on 4 September 2026 to pause 49 data centres under construction and froze 117 pending approvals while it writes new rules, due by mid October. The government has said it cannot legally enforce the pause. No list of affected projects has been published, so no Thai project has changed stage on this basis. A separate data centre electricity tariff has been created with no rate set.

Where it sits

EEC (Eastern Seaboard) holds 21 active projects with 3,703 MW of planned IT load between them, and Digital Edge / B.Grimm BKK Campus (Chonburi) ranks 12th by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 9 are under construction, 7 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for EEC (Eastern Seaboard), and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Digital Edge has 5 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Digital Edge CGK Campus (CGK1 to CGK4), Cikarang, Digital Edge BOM1 campus and Digital Edge EDGE2, Jakarta. It sits on the Digital Edge BKK campus. Named funding comes from Stonepeak on the equity side, Bangkok Bank, Bank of Ayudhya, HSBC, KASIKORNBANK, Mizuho, Natixis CIB, Siam Commercial Bank, SMBC and Standard Chartered as debt and B.Grimm Power. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. BKK1 is under construction with a Q4 2026 target; BKK2 is under construction with a 2027 target. The stage was recorded as under construction on 4 September 2025. The money on record is US$1,000m as of September 2025, the announced investment. Power comes from B.Grimm Power. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling, with a design PUE of 1.25.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Thailand costs about US$0.10 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Thailand, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 11 public sources for this project, the latest dated 26 August 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.

Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
