Electricity Demand in April 2001 (Confirmed Report)
Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)
o Demand for electricity in April was down 1.8% on the same month the previous
year to 65.09 billion kWh.
o Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
Lighting Demand (down 4.7%, 20.06 billion kWh)
Commercial Demand (up 1.4%, 11.92 billion kWh)
Lighting demand posted a decline of 4.7% due to decreased demand for heating
caused by higher temperatures from mid-March to mid- April, and a shorter
meter-reading period.
Commercial demand posted only a small rise of 1.4%.
(Reference) Large Industrial Demand (down 0.4%, 20.98 billion kWh)
Large industrial user demand in April was down for the third consecutive
month, declining by 0.4%. The decline was due to generally sluggish industrial
production that depressed performance in all sectors.
