Electricity Demand in August 2001 (Confirmed Report)

(September 28, 2001)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

 ○ Demand for electricity in August was up 1.4% on the same month the previous year to 81.22 billion kWh.

 ○ Relatively cool weather in eastern Japan during August depressed demand for cooling, resulting in a rise of only 2.1% in commercial demand. Lighting demand, however, posted a firm rise of 7.4%, because of the longer meter-reading period.

  ・ Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand Lighting Demand (up 7.4%, 25.88 billion kWh)

  ・ Commercial Demand (up 2.1%, 17.09 billion kWh)

(Reference)

 Large industrial user demand in August was down for the seventh consecutive month, falling by 4.5%. 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.

  ・ Large Industrial Demand (down 4.5%, 21.98 billion kWh)
