Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the use of electrical energy in households. There have been reports of changes in electrical energy consumption before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in several countries. This study aims to review the daily behavior activities and demographic profile of Indonesia's population regarding rising electricity bills during the Covid-19 pandemic through the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach. The research method uses the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach. A total of 137 respondents are assumed to have experienced the impact of rising electricity bills during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study proposes four hypotheses to be tested through the SEM-PLS approach. A total of two hypotheses were accepted, and two hypotheses were rejected. Hypothesis H1 (p-value < 0.05) so that H1 is obtained or there is a relationship between daily behavioral activities and increased electricity bills. Hypothesis H3 (p-value < 0.05) so that H3 is accepted or a connection between the respondent's profile and the increase in electricity bills. Meanwhile, additional devices that require electric power and the number of electric pulses purchased have no relationship to the rise in electricity bills during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

Summary
Perilaku penggunaan energi listrik berperan penting dalam menunjang strategi intervensi, khususnya bagi negara-negara yang belum berkategori negara maju. Perilaku penggunaan energi listrik dilaporkan sebelumnya di negara Afrika Selatan berkorelasi dengan pekerjaan dan Rosyid R. Penelitian lain melaporkan perilaku penggunaan energi listrik rumah tangga dengan pendapatan tetap yang cukup tinggi di Afrika Selatan. Kajian mengenai perilaku harian dan profil demografi penduduk terhadap potensi naiknya tagihan listrik yang didapatkan sangat menarik untuk diteliti lebih lanjut, khususnya di negara-negara berkembang. Perilaku akan pentingnya menghemat energi listrik sangat penting, terutama terhadap perilaku sehari-hari dan umumnya pada penduduk dengan usia dewasa hingga tua, karena umumnya mereka yang berurusan dengan tagihan listrik [9]. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aktivitas perilaku sehari-hari dan profil demografi penduduk di Indonesia terhadap kasus naiknya tagihan listrik selama pandemi Covid-19 melalui pendekatan Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS)
