DSS for regional electricity planning has been developed in a user-friendly way using the powerful GUI tools Visual Basic and GIS. The system has enough flexibility to meet the needs of the planners at regional levels. The system is fast and the result produced is accurate. The DSS helps to find the yearly, monthly, daily consumption and loss of electricity at various hierarchical levels. The planners can forecast the future consumption and with that result the planners can take better decision and plan accordingly. The purpose of this spatial DSS has been established as it satisfies the user requirements.

The average energy consumption in Kolar district is approximately 68 million kWh. The average division wise and taluk wise consumption per month is as shown in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively.
