[Demand Overview (Total Across the Ten Power Companies)]
Total demand in October was up 3.9% on last year to 68.5 billion kWh across
the ten companies.
1.Residential & Commercial Demand
Both residential and commercial demand rose, increasing by 7.6% and 3.5%
respectively. The rise was due to a longer meter reading period, and relatively
higher temperatures in September that led to increased demand for cooling.
2.Large Industrial Demand
Demand from large industrial users was up for the third consecutive month,
increasing by 1.0%. The increase was due to firm performance in all sectors
except the cement, textiles and transport machinery sectors. Performance
in the steel sector was particularly good.
