i2002^3^15j
1. Nationwide Summary
Total electricity generated and purchased in February was down for the
seventh consecutive month, falling by 3.1%. The decline was due to decreased
demand for heating caused by higher temperatures, and depressed large industrial
user demand. 71.94 billion kWh were generated.
Breakdown
Hydro Flow fates were above those of last year, leading to a rise in hydro
power generation. 4.09 billion kWh were generated, up 6.7%.
Thermal Overall decline in generated and purchased led to a 7.0% decline
in thermal generation. 21.80 billion kWh were generated.
Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last
year, resulting in a 6.2% decline in nuclear power generation. 24.17 billion
kWh were generated.
Capacity utilization rates in 2001 and 2000 were 75.2% and 81.8% 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 138.305 million kWh (recorded
at 10:00, 13 February), down 6.9% on last year.
