AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoData Centre Moratorium: Thailand has paused construction of 49 data centres and frozen approvals for 117 more while new rules are drafted, after residents raised alarms over power, water use, safety, and environmental impacts. Officials say the move isn’t a ban, but a push for “airtight” oversight and uniform standards, with guidance expected within a month. Policy for “Added Value”: Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul also framed the sector as something Thailand should benefit from beyond hosting—by attracting related industries, promoting renewable energy, and tightening data protection and cybersecurity. Bangkok Pollution Watch: Bangkok authorities inspected drainage linked to a data-centre site after reports of cloudy water and an oil-like smell, ordering the operator to clean up and prevent future leaks. Regional Climate Stress: Nepal’s flash floods and landslides continue to devastate communities, with the death toll reported at 1,294 and thousands still missing, while WFP scales up food aid to isolated areas.
