Electricity Demand in November 2004 (Confirmed Report)

2004/12/27
FEPC

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

Total demand in November was up 1.2% on last year to 65.6 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

(Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand)

Commercial demand posted an increase of 2.2%. Lighting demand, however, remained even due to 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 November was up for the eleventh consecutive month, increasing by 2.3%. The rise was due to firm performance in the machinery, the steel and the chemicals sectors.
