KGI Securities said the Ministry of Interior is preparing a specific ministerial regulation to upgrade Data Centers into systematically regulated businesses, after Data Center investment expanded rapidly and electricity demand is expected to possibly exceed 20,000 MW. The regulation designates Data Centers as controlled-use buildings and divides oversight by size and resource use into 8 tiers, Tier 0 to Tier 5, using key criteria such as electrical capacity, reserve water volume, and building size. Medium to large projects must assess their electricity and water impact, and areas that are Grid or Water Hotspots must obtain Utility Confirmation. Meanwhile, large projects using 50 MW or more of electricity, or clusters totaling 100 MW or more, must pass a National Strategic Review and manage electricity use on a phased basis so as not to affect the stability of the power system. The draft ministerial regulation is expected to enter consideration around October 2026, go before the Cabinet for approval in principle around January 2027, and be published in the Royal Gazette with effect around June 2027. Existing Data Centers must upgrade key systems within one year. KGI said the stricter criteria are in line with expectations and largely already priced in, but the enforcement timeline expected in mid-2027 is slower than anticipated, and it remains to be seen how much the government can accelerate the process. Its current recommendation is Buy for AMATA and WHA, with target prices of 37 baht and 5.90 baht respectively. The news could cause share prices to fluctuate in the short term.
