Electricity Demand in July 2001 (Confirmed Report)

(August 31, 2001)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

○ Demand for electricity in July was up 1.3% on the same month the previous year to 73.68 billion kWh.

○ Commercial demand and lighting demand posted rises of 5.3% and 2.2% respectively. The increases came despite a shorter meter-reading period, and were attributable to increased cooling demand resulting from higher temperatures in all areas except northern Japan. Demand was particularly high in the Kanto region, which experienced record high temperatures for the month of July.

  ・ Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand Lighting Demand (up 2.2%, 20.44 billion kWh)

  ・ Commercial Demand (up 5.3%, 15.25 billion kWh)


(Reference)

 Large industrial user demand in June was down for the sixth consecutive month, declining by 1.2%. The decline was due to generally sluggish industrial production that depressed performance in all sectors, with particularly poor results noted in the steel sector.

  ・ Large Industrial Demand (down 1.2%, 23.56 billion kWh)
