Abstract: An attempt aims to find out an alternative to avoid expanding existing fossil power plants to cope with a high growth demand of electricity in Indonesia could be done through electrical energy efficiency improvement. Provided that in-depth knowledge of end-use characteristics of electricity consumption is known, in this study, a primary survey was conducted between Nov. 2011–Jan. 2012 to investigate the characteristics of urban household electrical energy consumption in Indonesia. Data were collected from 600 respondents living in seven major cities in Indonesia, only 474 (79%) of respondents were considered to be valid.
