Electricity Demand in December 1999 (Confirmed Report)
Demand for electricity in December was up 2.9% on the same month the
previous year to 65.01 billion kWh.
1. Outline by User
Residential & Commercial Demand
Both residential and commercial demand rose, increasing by 3.0% and 2.2%
respectively. The rise was due to a longer meter-reading period, and relatively
higher temperatures in December that led to increased demand for heating.
Large Industrial Demand
Demand from large industrial users was up for the fifth consecutive month,
increasing by 3.6% to 21.50 billion kWh. The increase was due to firm performance
in the steel, non-ferrous metals and electrical machinery sector, despite
poor performance in the transport machinery, cement and textiles sectors.
2. State of the Ten Japanese Power Companies
Residential business results at most of the companies showed firm rises
due to lower temperatures that led to increased demand for heating. Large
industrial business results at all the companies were up for the first
time in 27 months (since September 1997).

3. Large Industrial Demand
Iron and Steel (up 7.4%): Increased production of crude steel led to a
rise of 7.4%.
Chemicals (up 1.7%): Increased production of ethylene and resins led to
a rise of 1.7%.
Machinery (up 3.4% overall; electrical up 6.3%, transport down 0.3%) The
electrical sector posted a rise of 6.3% due to increased production of
electronics and communication devices. The transport machinery sector,
however, declined 0.3% due to decreased automobile production. Overall,
the machinery sector rose 3.4%.
Cement (down 5.7%): Reduced production caused by sluggish demand led to
a decline of 5.7%.
Non-Ferrous Metals (up 7.1%): Bullish aluminium production and copper rolling
led to a rise of 7.1%.
Paper & Pulp (up 3.6%): Bullish production of cardboard papers led
to a rise of 2.0%. Textiles (down 2.4%): Reflecting a drop in demand for
textiles, this sector fell by 2.4%.
