The research results indicate that factors influencing the electricity demand for household group with low electric power installed include: the amount of power of the electronic appliances used and household income, whereas for household group with medium electric power was positively and significantly influenced by: the amount of power of the electronic appliances used, household income, number of family member and number of room. For group with high electric power it was positively and significantly influenced by the amount of power of the electronic equipments used, number of room, number of family member and building area. Hence, to minimize the electrical energy usage, it is required the use of power saving electronic appliances.
