Electricity Demand in April 2002 (Confirmed Report)

(May 31, 2002)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

 ○ Total demand in April was down for the eighth consecutive months, falling by 2.8% on last year to 63.3 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

 ○ Commercial and lighting demand both posted declines of 1.1% and 3.8% respectively. The declines were due to decreased demand for heating, caused by higher temperatures in March and early April, and a shorter meter-reading period.

   ・ Lighting Demand (down 3.8%, 19.30 billion kWh)

   ・ Commercial Demand (down 1.1%, 11.79 billion kWh)

(Reference)

 ○  Large industrial user demand in April was down for the fifteenth consecutive month, falling by 1.8%. The decline resulted from poor performance in ceramics, non-ferrous sectors and all other sectors.

   ・ Large Industrial Demand (down 1.8%, 20.61 billion kWh)
