The Thai Government’s 9th National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP) has emphasised the promotions of local and community participation to improve the management mechanism of natural resources and the environment at the community level, so as to achieve social approval of energy security. Once the rural community has secured a reliable electricity supply, they can have access to modern communication media like TV and radios, which can play a vital role in
creating a knowledge-based society. Improved electricity supply also generates extra economic activities in the community, improving the capacity-building of the poor. Overall extra economic activities in each house-hold in the community increase the capital development of community as a whole. Due to improvement in lighting and information dissemination, there would be improvement in community health. With reliable electricity supply in the community, all modern gadgets will be operational in the community, increasing extra creativity and fostering community’s well-being
