Thai Government and Private Sector Discuss Energy Structure to Support Digital Economy
Representatives from the government and private sector discussed ways to support the digital economy through sustainable energy at the CP Innovation Exposition 2026.
The discussion focused on the need for a clear and long-term framework for direct power purchase agreements (PPAs) and third-party access (TPA) to support data centers. This would help balance energy security and cost distribution.
The government should define clear rules for investors to take responsibility for their own energy supply, while also ensuring that costs are not passed on to consumers.
Several companies, including Arise IDC and CP All, are already implementing sustainable energy solutions, such as AI-powered energy management and battery energy storage systems.
