Electricity Demand in August 2003(Confirmed Report)

(September. 30, 2003)


Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)

@›@Total demand in August was down 10.6% on last year to 74.6 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

(Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand)

@›@Commercial and lighting demand both posted drastic declines of 9.7% and 16.4% respectively due to decreased demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures from July to mid-August.
@@E@Lighting Demand (down 16.4%, 22.69 billion kWh)
@@E@Commercial Demand (down 9.7%, 15.74 billion kWh)

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand (down 2.6%, 21.90 billion kWh)

@›Large industrial user demand in August was down for the second consecutive month, declining by 2.6%. The decline resulted from poor performance in all sectors except the steel sector.
