This research investigates the spatial correlation among per capita electricity consumption, per capita industrial electricity consumption, and economic growth by employing various regression models, including linear regression, geographically weighted regression, and multi -stage geographically weighted regression. The primary goal is to illustrate the presence of spatial effects in the connection between electricity consumption and economic growth. In this context, this study made for Turkey distinguishes itself from previous research by utilizing the multi -stage spatially weighted regression model to examine this relationship. The findings reveal that the multi -scale spatial regression model is the most effective in explaining the relation between economic growth at the provincial level and per capita electricity consumption and per capita industrial electricity consumption. Moreover, the study emphasizes that per capita Gross Domestic Product emerges as the most influential regional economic indicator when assessing its impact on per capita electricity consumption and per capita industrial electricity consumption.
