Watchpoints 2025–2026
Power
EGAT grid allocation
Hyperscale campuses require hundreds of MW of grid power. EGAT and MEA/PEA allocation timelines are the primary constraint on Thai data-centre delivery schedules.
GDS parent
GDS Holdings capital position
GDS Holdings (NASDAQ:GDS) carries elevated leverage from its China data-centre build-out. Parent capital constraints could slow DayOne's ASEAN expansion capital deployment.
Sovereign AI
Thai AI policy tailwinds
Thai government sovereign-AI and digital-infrastructure BOI incentive programmes could accelerate demand from public-sector and SOE cloud tenants for DayOne's facilities.
