Abstract
A total energy requirements model is suggested for the electric utility planning process. It requires very little data input and time, and can be developed on a personal computer with the help of an electronic spread-sheet and/or a statistical program. Input components used in determining the energy forecast for the suggested model include population, weather, income, and a major economic activity. This method has been tested on 20 rural electric cooperatives with satisfactory results
