Analysis of the data used in the study is in the form of panel data regression using the fixed effect model (FEM).

The result shows that the variables of the population has a significant and positively influence the demand for electricity. Variable power capacity installed also has a significant and positively influence the demand for electricity. As for the GRDP per capita variables do not have significant influence, but positively influence the electricity demand.
