Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited (AIS) has revealed the findings of its latest Social Return on Investment (SROI) study for the Green Energy Green Network for THAIs project at Thailand Research Expo 2026, organised by the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI). The study found that the project generated a total social impact value of 33.88 million baht from an investment of 24.89 million baht, representing a social return of 1.36 times the investment. The findings underscore how digital infrastructure and clean energy can create measurable economic, social and quality-of-life benefits for underserved communities.
Green Energy Green Network for THAIs is a collaborative initiative between AI), Gulf Development Public Company Limited (GULF) and the Highland Research and Development Institute (Public Organisation) (HRDI). The project deploys solar-powered telecommunications base stations in remote areas to address the lack of access to energy and communication infrastructure while creating what AIS calls an “Infrastructure of Opportunity” for local communities. To systematically assess the project’s long-term impact, the partners have continuously conducted SROI research to evaluate outcomes and inform future development strategies.
