This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the use of electrical energy of Public Street Lighting Lights (PJU) to the electricity bills of the State Electricity Company in Binjai City. The main problem in this study is the discrepancy between the real consumption of PJU electrical energy and the electricity bills paid by the local government, which has the potential to cause inefficiency and waste of the budget. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive type of research. Data was collected through field observations, PJU technical data documentation, and supporting interviews with related parties. Data analysis is carried out by calculating electrical energy consumption based on lamp power, number of points, and length of use, then compared with electricity bill data to find out the level of suitability and difference that occurs. The results of the study show that the use of PJU electrical energy in Binjai City is still not fully efficient, characterized by the use of conventional lights and an operating system that is not optimal. In addition, there is a mismatch between electrical energy consumption and electricity bills, caused by technical factors, inaccurate measurement systems, data insynchronization, and estimate-based billing systems. The PJU management and supervision system is also still conventional and has not been optimally integrated. Therefore, improvement efforts are needed through the use of energy-saving technology, the implementation of digital-based monitoring systems, the improvement of data collection systems, and the implementation of periodic energy audits to increase efficiency and conformity between the use of electrical energy and PJU electricity bills.
