Electricity Demand in December 2001 (Confirmed Report)

(January 31, 2002)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

 ○ Total demand in December was down 0.4% on last year to 66.69 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

 ○ Commercial and lighting demand both posted rises of 1.9% and 4.7% respectively. The rises were due to increased demand for heating, caused by lower temperatures from mid-December to the end of December, and a longer meter-reading period.

   ・ Lighting Demand (up 4.7%, 21.66 billion kWh)

   ・ Commercial Demand(up 1.9%, 12.24 billion kWh)

(Reference)

 ○  Large industrial user demand in December was down for the eleventh consecutive month, falling by 6.0%. 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 6.0%, 20.75 billion kWh)
