Abstract


Providing information comprehensively regarding drivers for household electricity use is important for power system operation and more realistic planning for energy conservation policies. This paper has focus to provide information related to household electricity consumption and behaviour of users in Makassar, Indonesia. For this purpose, a questionnaire was developed for survey to get data from users such as family characteristics, house building, owned energy efficient appliances (EEA), user behaviour in using appliances, obstacles in practising energy saving, etcetera. To derive more information, obtained data were also analyzed using regression approach. Some important information from survey results are demand for larger installed electricity power capacity (IEPC) is increased and mainly for house with IEPC 900 VA. For EEA, lamp, refrigerator, and air-conditioner (AC) are mostly owned by respondents. Obstacles in practicing daily electricity saving include such as users do not have not enough information regarding energy saving behaviour. From regression analysis, it is found that perception is a key factor to enhance the utilization level of EEA and to improve habit of the users for electricity saving. Presented information is useful as a reference for energy policy planning for residential sector in Indonesia.
