Electricity Demand in April 2000 (Confirmed Report)



Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)


o Demand for electricity in April was up 1.8% on the same month the previous year to 66.25 billion kWh.

o Demand excluding Extra High Voltage Demand

Lighting Demand (flat, 21.05 billion kWh)
Commercial Demand (up 2.5%, 11.70 billion kWh)

Although commercial demand posted a rise of 2.5%, a shorter meter reading period resulted in flat demand for lighting.


(Reference) Large Industrial Demand

Demand from large industrial users was up for the ninth consecutive month, increasing by 3.5% to 21.07 billion kWh.
The increase resulted from firm performance in the steel and paper & pulp sectors.
