Electricity Demand in the First Half of FY 2001 (Bulletin)


(October 19, 2001)



Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Companies)
○Total demand in the first half of FY 2001 was down 1.1% on last year's first half to 420.3 billion kWh across the 10 companies.
○ Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
Lighting demand was down 0.5% and commercial demand posted a rise of only 1.7%. The results reflect comparatively lower August-September demand than for the same period last year, when record high temperatures caused demand for cooling to soar.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand
Demand from large industrial users was down for the first time in four half-terms, declining by 2.6%. The decline was due to generally sluggish industrial production that depressed performance in all sectors, with particularly poor performance being noted in the steel sector.
