Decision.pdf - Published Version Electricity appears to be the
energy carrier of choice for modern economics since growth in
electricity has outpaced growth in the demand for fuels. A
decision maker (DM) for accurate and efficient decisions in
electricity distribution requires the sector wise and location
wise electricity consumption information to predict the
requirement of electricity. In this regard, an interactive
computer-based Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed
to compile, analyse and present the data at disaggregated levels
for regional energy planning. This helps in providing the
precise information needed to make timely decisions related to
transmission and distribution planning leading to increased
efficiency and productivity. This paper discusses the design and
implementation of a DSS, which facilitates
