Southeast Asia restricts data center construction
Authorities in Southeast Asian countries have begun restricting the construction of data centers. The reason is growing electricity and water consumption.
In Thailand, work was suspended at 49 facilities under construction. In Indonesia, the construction of a large AI complex was halted.
For someone who holds or exchanges cryptocurrency, this means that restrictions could affect infrastructure related to mining and blockchain services in the region.
