Watchpoints 2025–2026
Power grid
MEA grid power allocation
Bangkok data-centre build-out requires MEA grid power allocations that are constrained. Delays in power-purchase agreements could defer Phase 2 capacity expansion timelines.
Competition
Hyperscale price pressure
DayOne and Bridge Data Centres competing on large-block hyperscale deals at lower $/kW rates may compress Equinix's enterprise colocation pricing in the Thai market.
Regulation
Thai data-residency rules
Pending Thai PDPA enforcement updates and potential data-localisation mandates could accelerate enterprise demand but also impose compliance costs on cross-border interconnection services.
