2003 (Bulletin)
(2003/10/17)
1. Nationwide Summary
Decreased demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures in July and August
led to a decline of 1.5% to 454.07 billion kWh across the 10 companies.
Breakdown
Hydro
The flow rate was up compared to last year's first half, resulting in an
increase of 16.7% to 44.94 billion kWh.
Thermal
Decreased use of nuclear power led to a 16.9% increase in thermal generation.
233.57 billion kWh were generated.
Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last
year's first half, resulting in a 38.8% drop in nuclear power generation.
97.75 billion kWh were generated.
Capacity utilization rates in 2003 and 2002 were 51.6% and 84.4% respectively
(Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).
2. State of the Companies
