Electricity Demand in December 2000 (Bulletin)


(January 23, 2001)



[Demand Overview (Total Across the Ten Power Companies)]
Total demand in December was up 3.1% on last year to 67.0 billion kWh across the ten companies.

Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
Lighting and Commercial demand posted increase of 3.5% and 4.0%, respectively. The increases were due to increased demand for heating caused by lower temperatures in eastern Japan from mid-November to early December, and a longer meter-reading period for Lighting.

Note: Parentheses represents proportion of total.


(Reference) Large Industrial Demand
Demand from large industrial users was up for the seventeenth consecutive month, rising by 2.6%.

The increase was due to firm performance in the non-ferrous metals and machinery sector, despite of a leveling off of growth in the chemical and ceramics sector.
