Electricity Demand in May 2004 (Confirmed Report)

2004/6/30
FEPC

[Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Power Companies)]

Total demand in May was up 0.6% on last year to 64.8 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

(Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand)

Commercial and lighting demand posted increases of 1.3% and 0.1% respectively. The increase in lighting demand came despite a shorter meter-reading period.

Note: Year-on-year changes in commercial power calculated by adjusting figures for the same period one year ago to match 2004 demand categories (for reference only).

(Reference)

Large industrial user demand in May was up for the fifth consecutive month, increasing by 1.3%. The rise was due to firm performance in the chemicals, the steel, the machinery and the non-ferrous metals sectors.
