Location >> EEC Industrial Land in Short Supply: Thailand Accelerates Opportunities for Data Centers & Clean Energy
Date：2026-01-07
Industrial land in EEC is scarce：BOI confirms large plots (>50 rai) are nearly gone, with 20+ investment projects delayed due to land constraints.
Strong government intervention to fast-track land expansion in EEC
BOI has established a dedicated task force together with the EEC Policy Committee, the Department of Town and Country Planning, and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand to:
- Accelerate urban planning approvals
- Remove legacy constraints such as obsolete public roads and drainage infrastructure
- Push forward long-overdue land law reforms to unlock key industrial land parcels as soon as possible
Data centers & energy projects in focus：
BOI, together with the Ministry of Energy, is mapping regional power availability (“Power Map”) to guide site selection for data centers, renewable energy, storage, and smart grid projects.
High-certainty window for clean energy & smart grids：
- Rising demand for industrial-park solar PV & storage
- Smart grid & energy management systems becoming essential
- Energy infrastructure now a core investment driver
ASEE 2026 – Your gateway to Thailand & ASEAN energy & digital infrastructure：
Thailand' s “land + power” push makes this the perfect time for energy, data center, telecom, and smart grid companies to join ASEE 2026.
