Abstract: This study aims to analyze the impact of investment in the electricity sector in East Java using the Interregional Input-Output (IRIO) method. There are several data used for employment data, public income data and IRIO tables sourced from the Central Statistics Agency. The electricity sector is one of the leading sectors in East Java, which shows that it is able to increase the development of the upstream and downstream industries in the electricity sector itself, both directly and indirectly. The influence of the role of electricity sector activities in East Java has made the government's attention to increase electricity investment after the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of electricity investment on other sectors in East Java occurred in the Mining and Quarrying sector in terms of increasing output and income, the Wholesale and Retail Trade sector. Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles in terms of increasing the workforce. In addition, it also has an impact on other regions that are the most dominant, namely in South Sumatra and East Kalimantan and the majority still affect other provinces on the island of Java.

R53 INTRODUCTION Electrical energy is one of the main factors driving economic development that affects various aspects of the production and consumption of goods and services in the economy (Payne, 2. Currently, electricity is considered one of the energy sources used in the economic activities of the Indonesian people. Economic activities related to the production of goods and services are largely supported by electricity as the source of energy. Therefore, there is a causal relationship that electricity utilization is still considered to have a significant contribution to increasing economic development and vice versa (Bazyn Navarro et al. , 2024. Mutumba & Otim, 2. In addition, it is an undeniable fact that the increase in electricity consumption is also influenced by the availability of infrastructure to facilitate access and meet the electricity needs of the community supported by investment in the electricity sector (Eldowma et al. , 2. In addition, the trend of increasing electricity utilization has also prompted various studies on the identification of the impact of electricity utilization and investment on economic development. PT PLN (Perser. East Java Distribution Main Unit (UID) recorded that electricity sales performance throughout 2024 reached 44. 3 Twh or experienced a growth of around 6 percent compared to 2023 which was 41. 8 Twh, a positive signal for electrical energy consumption of as many as 14. million customers as of December 2024, an increase from the previous year which reached 13. 7 million in 2023 (Dinas Kominfo, 2. Increasing the need for electrical energy supply in East Java. PLN East Java & Bali Transmission Main Unit (UIT JBM) added two conductors to the Sidoarjo Substation (GI) with an investment value of IDR 11. 7 billion and PT PLN (Perser. succeeded in restoring 100 percent of the electricity system in Madura which was affected by the transmission disruption of the 150 kilovolt . V) High Voltage Cable Line (SKTT) Ujung - Bangkalan. Increased spending . in the provision of electricity infrastructure will encourage the acceleration of renewable energy ecosystem policies and support economic growth that increases income (Asaleye et al. , 2. One form of electricity infrastructure investment by PR PLN (Perser. UID East Java is to ensure the availability of Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) in 77 which are divided into 33 provided by PLN and 44 by the private sector (Kominfo, 2. https://equity. id/index. php/equity 33019/equity.

Realization of Electricity Investment in East Java Province (Rp - Billio. Source: Dinas Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu Provinsi Jatim 2020-2024 Based on figure 1, it shows the realization of total investment in the East Java electricity sector during the 2020-2024 period, which experienced an increase in total investment after the Covid-19 pandemic from 1. 10 trillion to 3. 71 trillion. The increase in electricity investment also coincided with domestic investment and foreign direct investment (Nurtina & Mahadi, 2. Electricity investment that aims to maintain sustainable electricity availability is also expected to have an impact between regions (Schulte & Wahle, 2. Electricity investment will not only have an impact on the availability of electricity supply between regions, but will also have an impact on the availability of jobs, income and increased output to other regions as well (Vasconcellos & Caiado Couto, 2. The urgency of research that discusses electricity investment due to the increase in the use of various electricity facilities also encourages various studies on the identification of the impact of electricity utilization and investment on economic development in East Java Province. Investment is able to provide a multiplier effect to other sectors, such as foreign investment (Hernyndez Soto & Martinez-Cobas, 2. , market, air transport and cargo (Merzlikin et al. , 2. , agglomeration and manufacturing (Kim et al. , 2. , agriculture (Wang et al. , 2. and industry (He et al. , 2. and urban green (Zhang et al. , 2. In addition, electricity has a positive impact on increasing the human development index (Maqin & Sidharta, 2. , however, the future challenge in the development of renewable energy must be able to provide electricity without fossil materials (Erdiwansyah et al. , 2. In the previous study, it only discussed intervariables using an econometric approach that was concentrated on one region/region only, but in this study it used the approach of inter-sector linkages and inter-regional linkages as seen from the impact of a policy carried out by the government (Allo et , 2. However, a more detailed update will discuss the impact of electricity investment on output, income and labor from 17 business fields and 34 other provinces. Therefore, this study aims to help estimate how the multiplier effect of electricity investment policies in East Java on the economy in Indonesia by using the Interregional Input-Output Table (IRIO) approach method. LITERATURE REVIEW Several cities are pursuing sustainable development by providing environmentally friendly energy, one of which is encouraging the switch to the use of electric vehicles so that investment in electric charging stations is needed (Chen et al. , 2. In research conducted in Gorontalo, electricity infrastructure is one of the aspects needed to support economic development. Gorontalo Province is one of the provinces with the electricity and gas procurement sector which is the leading sector that provides the greatest impetus to other business fields if the increase in demand finally increases and has the highest output response if there is an increase in final demand in other sectors, therefore, investment in the electricity and gas procurement sector needs to be made. This study aims to determine the role of https://equity. id/index. php/equity 33019/equity. The Impact of East Java Electricity Investment on Indonesian Economy: (IRIO) the electricity and gas procurement sector in Gorontalo Province, the linkages between sectors and regions, and the impact of investment in the electricity and gas procurement sector in Gorontalo Province on the Indonesian economy (Rahmah, 2. Energy policy goals often depend on investment in technology to support sustainable energy, one of which is electricity investment (Gross et al. , 2. The high cost of energy subsidies has encouraged the government and the private sector to invest (Bigerna et al. , 2. However, it is also necessary to understand the main factors that influence investors' choice of technology mix in the electricity market during the transition period. Key findings of the analysis include: the high cost of energy subsidies has encouraged the government and the private sector to invest in the main reasons behind reforms. characteristics of electricity reform. The impact of electricity market reform on electricity prices, as well as factors related to electricity market reform and non-reform that affect investors' choice of certain generation technologies or technology mix (Streimikiene & Siksnelyte, 2.

At the same time, this will encourage an increase in the use of output from other sectors as inputs . ndirect backward linkag. of Rp . The condition will also increase the final demand for 1 output using other sector outputs as inputs, then directly or indirectly will encourage the development of the upstream industry by Rp . Based on table 3, it shows that all sectors are able to show positive results that are able to encourage the added value of the number of output additions from direct linkage, as is the case in the electricity and gas sector of 1. 58 million, indicating that every increase of 1 output will increase the sector's output demand by 1. 59 million as an intermediate input in the production process. This will simultaneously trigger an increase in demand for output from other sectors as intermediate inputs to indirect backward linkages of 0. 41 million, so that there will be an increase in final demand for 1 direct and indirect output will encourage the development of the upstream industry by 2 million. As well as there is an increase in demand as an intermediate input in the future indirect linkage of 0. 67 million, so that the increase in final demand for direct and indirect output will encourage the development of downstream industries by 2. 26 million. The impact of the linkage on the electricity and gas sectors is dominated by downstream industries compared to upstream industries in these sectors . 00 < 2. Table 4 shows the classification in the 4 quadrants using the results of the coefficients on backward linkage and forward linkage.

The results of the 4 quadrants classification in table 4 show that the electricity and gas sector is in the category of leading sectors where the activities that occur in the electricity and gas industry are able to attract the growth of other industrial outputs as intermediate inputs and final demand in fulfilling the supply chain of the industry from upstream to downstream. The relationship of industry in the production process is not only influenced by the use of output from other industries as inputs in the production process of that sector by the market, but also influenced by government intervention by implementing policies to influence changes in output, namely by way of investment. One of the programs from the East Java government is investment in the electricity sector with the aim of improving infrastructure and equitable distribution of electricity. Investment in the electricity sector in East Java will have an impact including changes in output, income and labor placement in other sectors in East Java. However, in this study using Interregional Input-Output (IRIO) analysis, it will also look at the impact of changes that occur in all other provinces in Indonesia. https://equity. id/index. php/equity 33019/equity.

SUGGESTION This study provides recommendations, especially for policy-making in improving the quality of electricity procurement infrastructure and equitable distribution of electricity in 38 districts/cities of East Java by increasing domestic investment and foreign investment in the electricity sector, both domestic and foreign investment. With the hope that increased investment in the electricity sector will contribute more to other sectors and because the electricity sector is included in the category of leading sectors, it will have an impact on the supply chain between industries either as intermediate inputs or as final demand for other industries. In addition to strengthening the local economy of East Java, it can be done by developing interaction with other provinces that are able to provide an increase in the multiplier effect of the regions that are still dominated by provinces on the island of Java, this is supported by closer and more efficient access integration. As well as attention to the interaction of economic activities also outside the island of Java, including East Kalimantan and South Sulawesi.
