(April 19, 2000)
Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Power Companies)
Total demand in March was up 7.4% on last year to 70.1 billion kWh across
the 10 companies.
1.Residential & Commercial Demand
Both residential and commercial demand rose, increasing by 8.8% and 8.0%
respectively. The increases were due to a longer meter reading period resulting
from the extra leap-year day in February, and relatively lower temperatures
from mid-February to mid-March that led to increased demand for heating.
2.Large Industrial Demand
Demand from large industrial users was up for the eighth consecutive month,
increasing by 4.9%.
The increase resulted from firm performance in the steel, paper & pulp,
and electrical machinery sectors that more than compensated for poor performance
in the textile and cement sectors.
