Abstract

The goal of the study is to analyze the pattern and the change of household energy consumption and determinant factors in Indonesia in 2008-2011 by using National Economic Survey (SUSENAS) data of household budget survey. The concept of energy ladder and fuel stacking  (multi fuel) are used to make a model of household energy consumption. The result of study shows that there was an increase in energy consumption, both for modern and traditional energy in the period of 2008-2011.  Income elasticity of energy consumption is positive, meaning that there was an increase in consumption of modern energy together with traditional energy in line with the income growth. Household income is the main determinant factor of energy consumption along with others non-economic factors.

Keywords: energy consumption, energy ladder, household energy
