(May. 30, 2003)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

 ○ Total demand in April was up 6.2% on last year to 67.2 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

(Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand)

 ○ Commercial and lighting demand both posted increases of 7.0% and 10.8% respectively, due to increased demand for heating caused by lower temperatures primarily in March.

  ・  Lighting Demand (up 10.8%, 21.39 billion kWh)
  ・ Commercial Demand (up 7.0%, 12.61 billion kWh)

(Reference)

 ○ Large industrial user demand in April was up for the tenth consecutive month, increasing by 2.7%. The increase resulted from firm performance in all sectors except the textile sector. Performance in the chemicals and steel sectors was particularly good.

  ・ Large Industrial Demand (up 2.7%, 21.17 billion kWh)
