jaue20130012: Research on Electricity Consumption of Households in Indonesia

Abstract

For the purpose of collecting basic information of electricity consumption pattern in Indonesian households, electricity usage survey was conducted in 2010 (questionnaire survey for 5 regions) and in 2011 (detailed measurement in Jakarta) Major findings are as follows:
1. Regardless of region and income level (tariff category), electricity consumption of three major appliances (TV, refrigerator, and AC) occupies about 50% of the total electricity consumption.
2. The characteristics of penetration ratios of three major appliances by tariff category and by appliance size/specification were clarified.
3. It is estimated that the consumption of these three appliances and lighting occupies 18.2% of the total electricity consumption in Jawa-Bali region. 
Therefore reducing the consumption of these four appliances is considered to be quite effective for the reduction of national electricity consumption.
