Electricity Demand in October 2001(Confirmed Report)

(November 30, 2001)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

@›@Total demand in October was down 2.1% on last year to 64.88 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

@›@Although commercial demand posted a decline of 0.8% due to decreased demand for heating caused by higher temperatures in September, a longer meter-reading period resulted in a small rise of 1.1% for lighting.

@E@Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand Lighting Demand (up 1.1%, 17.81 billion kWh)

@E@Commercial Demand (down 0.8%, 12.97 billion kWh)

(Reference)

@›@Large industrial user demand in October was down for the ninth consecutive month, falling by 4.7%. 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.

@E@Large Industrial Demand (down 4.7%, 21.90 billion kWh)
