EEC Industrial Water Demand Forecast (2030)
~2–3x current Eastern Seaboard volumes
The EEC Office projects industrial water demand across the Eastern Economic Corridor to roughly double or triple from current Eastern Seaboard volumes by 2030 as semiconductor, EV, aerospace, and data-centre investments ramp up. This has triggered a multi-party race between EASTW, PWA, and private operators (Berli Jucker Water, TTW) to secure raw-water concessions and expand treatment capacity. Thailand's raw-water scarcity risk in dry years — particularly the Rayong reservoir system — is considered the primary infrastructure constraint on EEC investment absorption. The ONWR and RID are developing inter-basin transfer schemes to mitigate the risk.
