Electricity Demand in March 2005(Confirmed Report)
2005/4/28
FEPC
[Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Power Companies)]
Total demand in March was up 4.5% on last year to 73.2 billion kWh across the 10 companies.
Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand
- Lighting Demand (up 8.9%, 24.64 billion kWh)
- Commercial Demand (up 3.1%, 10.01 billion kWh)
Commercial and lighting demand posted increases of 3.1% and 8.9% respectively. The increases were due to increased demand for heating caused by lower temperatures in the latter parts of February and March.
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 Demand (up 1.7%, 22.58 billion kWh)
Large industrial user demand in March was up for the first time in 2 months increasing by 1.7%. The rise was due to firm performance in all sectors except the textiles and the ceramics sectors. Performance in the chemicals sector was particularly good.
