Electricity Generated and Purchased in June 2001 (Bulletin)
(2001/7/12)



1. Nationwide Summary
Depressed large industrial user demand led to a rise of only 0.9% to 73.66 billion kWh across the ten companies.

Breakdown

Hydro
Flow rates were below average, leading to a decline in hydro power generation. 7.28 billion kWh were generated, down 3.9%.

Thermal
Decreased use of hydro and nuclear power resulted in a 3.5% rise in thermal generation. 32.80 billion kWh were generated.

Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last year, leading to a 2.7% decline to 23.49 billion kWh.

Capacity utilization rates in 2001 and 2000 were 76.9% and 79.3% respectively (Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).

2. State of the Companies
Business results at most of the companies were sluggish due to depressed industrial demand.

Monthly Peak Load
Combined peak load for the ten companies was 156.592 million kWh (recorded at 15:00, 26 June), up 2.7% on last year.

Flow Rates
Although Shikoku and Kyushu recorded below-average flow rate, flow rate at the rest of the companies were above average. As a result, the flow rate across the nine companies was 102.0%.
