Decentralised Planning is introduced in KSEB during 2008.The Annual plans are prepared based on the five year plan, taking into consideration variations necessitated during the implementation period. The conventional style of planning does not generally take into account micro level developmental activities planned by different government agencies as well as individual entrepreneurs. This often creates mismatch between plan targets and demand side expectations. In this background KSEB has formulated an elaborate two-way decentralized plan considering the developmental requirement at micro level and setting quantitative targets for each functional unit.
The task of identifying various future development plans and assessing the power requirements for the same is done in consultation with various government agencies and other stakeholders. This ensures that the plans cater to the local needs and respond to ground realities. Instead of conventional top down approach, section level plans are evolved first which are consolidated after incorporating modifications, as may be found necessary.  
With the introduction of decentralised planning process, KSEB was able to achieve record progress in construction of 11 kV line and installation of new transformers.
