Global Power Synergy Plc (GPSC), the power generation arm of PTT Plc, is fast-tracking its expansion into energy solutions tailored to data centres, aiming to capture surging demand for clean electricity from multinational technology giants.Sukittee Chairak, senior vice-president of corporate finance and investor relations, revealed the company's plans to tap into Thailand's energy transition and the influx of foreign investment in cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
GPSC is preparing investments in data centre-related businesses in both Thailand and India, with plans to supply up to 1,000 megawatts of clean power, potentially through joint ventures.
The government is drafting a pilot direct power purchase agreement (PPA) scheme, which would allow data centres to buy clean electricity directly from producers.
Peer-to-peer clean power trading has long been prohibited, but the new initiative could unlock 2,000MW of capacity, with regulators considering expansion to other sectors.
