Electricity Demand in March 2002 (Confirmed Report)

(April 30, 2002)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

 ○ Total demand in March was down 4.3% on last year to 65.40 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

 ○ Commercial and lighting demand both posted declines of 2.3% and 3.7% respectively. The declines were due to decreased demand for heating, caused by higher temperatures in February and March.

   ・ Lighting Demand (down 3.7%, 20.74 billion kWh)

   ・ Commercial Demand (down 2.3%, 11.93 billion kWh)

(Reference)

 ○  Large industrial user demand in March was down for the fourteenth consecutive month, falling by 4.9%. The decline resulted from poor performance in all sectors, with particularly poor results noted in the chemical sector.

   ・ Large Industrial Demand (down 4.9%, 21.03 billion kWh)
