Abstract

Electricity is a basic human need besides other staples, either for those of the small or large income. Those who are less able are given subsidies from the government, but in 2017 the Indonesian government unilaterally increased the electric base rate (TDL) which certainly imposes on electricity bills. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see how the burden of expenditure borne by the household after the increase. It was found that empirically the average in the expenditure of the communities after the increase was around IDR100,000 to IDR150,000, meanwhile, the average income level is IDR0 to IDR2.3 millions. The tariff increase is not accompanied by revenue increase; thus, societies have to sacrifice other expenses for the sake of covering electricity cost.
