Outcome

Unresolved

On 4 November, Energy Minister Akanat Promphan reaffirmed plans to make data centres cover the extra cost of imported LNG used to generate their electricity. AWS’s one- and three-year Savings Plans keep prices unchanged for covered usage, limiting its ability to recover the higher electricity bill from existing customers. Unless AWS offsets that increase with savings elsewhere, it will earn less profit from providing the same cloud services at the agreed prices. Higher prices on new AWS contracts will make Google Cloud’s Singapore region more competitive for customers who can host their applications outside Thailand.
