Electricity Demand in May 2001 (Confirmed Report)

( June 29.2001 )


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

o Demand for electricity in May was up 1.5% on the same month the previous year to 62.94 billion kWh.
o Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand Lighting Demand (up 3.6%, 18.87 billion kWh) Commercial Demand (up 3.2%, 11.28 billion kWh)

Commercial demand and lighting demand posted rises of 3.2% and 3.6% respectively. The increase in lighting demand was due to a longer meter-reading period.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand (down 1.0%, 21.26 billion kWh)
Large industrial user demand in May was down for the fourth consecutive month, declining by 1.0%. The decline resulted from generally sluggish industrial production that led to stagnant or negative growth in all sectors, with particularly sluggish performance noted in the steel sector
