AI power demand pushes Thailand and Southeast Asia toward small reactors

Original: Chips need current as AI pushes Thailand, Southeast Asia toward small reactors

Southeast Asia is turning to small modular reactors as demand for reliable electricity surges alongside its growing semiconductor and artificial intelligence industries. Thailand is among the countries weighing the technology, with chip manufacturing requiring stable power supplies that renewable sources alone have struggled to guarantee, prompting a regional rethink on nuclear energy.

Why now: AI and chip manufacturing are driving unprecedented electricity demand, prompting fresh regional interest in nuclear power.
