In this paper, a study of electrical power consumption of Mysuru city from 2015-16 to 2018-19 is carried out. The main electrical consumption sectors are residential, commercial, industrial and other sectors that include street lighting, water pumping, and education institutions. For the year ended 2018-2019, the electrical power consumption of Mysuru city stands at 1192.97 million units (MU). During this period, the customer base has increased to 5, 83,509 from 5,60,613 during the financial year 2017-18 showing a healthy increase of 4% Also, the paper provides information on the potential of solar energy in Mysuru city which can be tapped to supplement the traditional non-renewable electrical power being supplied by the Government-owned Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC). It is found that at present, the total solar power production from rooftop photovoltaic systems in Mysuru stands at 3.36 MW. The solar potential over Mysuru as per the RET screen software is around 5.09 kWh/m2/day.
