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


(April 19, 2002)



Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Companies)
○Total demand in the second half of FY2001 was down 2.3% on last year's second half to 403.8 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

○ Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
Demand excluding extra high voltage demand showed a modest rise, with an increase of 0.4% in lighting demand, and a decrease of 0.2% in commercial
demand. The modest results were due to decreased demand for heating caused by lower temperatures in January and subsequent months.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand
Large industrial user demand in the second half of FY2001 was down for the second consecutive half term, declining by 5.4%.

The decline was due to generally sluggish industrial production that depressed performance in all sectors, with particularly poor results noted in the steel and the non-ferrous sectors.
