Electricity Demand in the First Half of 2000 (Confirmed Report)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

o Demand for electricity in the first half of 2000 was up 3.7% on last year's first half to 424.81 billion kWh.

o Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
Lighting Demand (up 3.7%, 124.23 billion kWh)
Commercial Demand (up 3.7%, 82.38 billion kWh)

Commercial and lighting demand both posted increases of 3.7%. The increases were due to nationwide higher temperatures in July and August that led to increased demand for cooling. Increases were particularly notable at companies in western Japan, where temperatures were much higher than those of last year's first half.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand (up 4.0%, 135.73 billion kWh)
Demand from large industrial users was up for the second consecutive half term, rising by 4.0%. The increase resulted from firm performance in most industrial sectors, with particularly strong performance being noted in the steel sector.
