Electricity Demand in December 2000 (Confirmed Report)



Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

oDemand for electricity in December was up 3.1% on the same month the previous year to 66.99 billion kWh.

oDemand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand

Lighting Demand (up 3.5%, 20.70 billion kWh)
Commercial Demand (up 4.0%, 12.01 billion kWh)

Commercial and lighting demand posted increase of 4.0% and 3.5%, 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.

(Reference)Large Industrial Demand (up 2.6%, 22.07 billion kWh)
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.
