Electricity Demand in August 2002 (Confirmed Report)

(Sep. 30, 2002)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

 ○ Total demand in August was up 2.7% on last year to 83.4 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

 ○ Commercial and lighting demand both posted increases of 2.0% and 4.8% respectively, due to increased demand for cooling caused by higher temperatures in August in eastern Japan, and a longer meter-reading period.

   ・ Lighting Demand (up 4.8%, 27.13 billion kWh)

   ・ Commercial Demand (up 2.0%, 17.43 billion kWh)

(Reference)

 ○ Large industrial user demand in August was up for the second consecutive month, increasing by 2.2%. The increase resulted from firm performance in all sectors except textiles and ceramics sectors.

   ・ Large Industrial Demand (up 2.2%, 22.48 billion kWh)
