(October 18, 2000)



Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Companies)
○ Total demand in September was up 2.3% on last year to 79.2 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

○ Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
Lighting and Commercial demand posted increases of 3.8% and 1.9% respectively. The increases were due to increased demand for cooling caused by higher temperatures in western Japan from mid-August to early September, and a longer meter-reading period for Lighting.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand
Although demand from large industrial users posted a rise of only 1.5%, it marked the fourteenth consecutive month of increased demand.
The relatively small increase was due to sluggish performance in the chemical sector, coupled with a leveling off of growth in the machinery sector.
