Electricity Generated and Purchased in January 2002 (Bulletin)
(2002/2/15)
1. Nationwide Summary
Total electricity generated and purchased in January saw a decline of 4.4%
due to decreased demand for heating caused by higher temperatures, and
depressed large industrial user demand. 78.00 billion kWh were generated.
Breakdown
Hydro
Flow fates were above those of last year, leading to a rise in hydro power
generation. 4.35 billion kWh were generated, up 1.0%.
Thermal
Overall decline in generated and purchased results and increased use of
hydro and nuclear power led to a 14.1% decline in thermal generation. 36.93
billion kWh were generated.
Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was up compared to last
year, resulting in a 3.2% rise in nuclear power generation. 24.17 billion
kWh were generated.
Capacity utilization rates in 2001 and 2000 were 75.3% and 74.5% respectively
(Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).
2. State of the Companies
With the exception of Okinawa, business results at the rest of the companies
declined due to sluggish industrial demand and decreased demand for heating
caused by higher temperatures.
Monthly Peak Load
Combined peak load for the 10 companies was 139.287 million kWh (recorded
at 18:00, 8 January), down 6.9% on last year.
Flow Rates
Plentiful rainfall nationwide resulted in a flow rate of 111.0% across
the 9 companies.
