1. Nationwide Summary
Decreased demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures led to a decline
of 2.3% to 78.09 billion kWh across the ten companies.
Breakdown
Hydro
Flow rates were well below average, leading to a decline in hydro power
generation. 5.57 billion kWh were generated, down14.2%.
Thermal
Despite decreased use of hydro and nuclear power, decreased use of thermal
power resulted in flat growth, with 38.56 billion kWh generated.
Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last
year, leading to a 13.3% decline to 22.89 billion kWh. Capacity utilization
rates in 2000 and 1999 were 75.2% and 86.6% respectively (Japan Atomic
Power Company figures excluded).
2. State of the Companies
Business results at companies in western Japan were sluggish due to decreased
demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures.
Monthly Peak Load
Combined peak load for the ten companies was 168.087 million kWh (recorded
at 15:00, 1 September), up 4.4% on last year.
Flow Rates
Although Hokkaido and Shikoku recorded above-average flow rates due to
plentiful rainfall, flow rates at the rest of the companies were average
or below average. As a result, the flow rate across the nine companies
was 97.7%.
