(2003/5/16)
1. Nationwide Summary
Total electricity generated and purchased in April was up 3.6%, due to
increased large industrial user demand. 69.10 billion kWh were generated.
Breakdown
Hydro
Flow rates were above those of last year, leading to a rise in hydro power
generation. 7.40 billion kWh were generated, up 4.6%.
Thermal
Decreased use of nuclear power led to a 40.0% increase in thermal generation.
35.22 billion kWh were generated.
Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last
year, resulting in a 42.7% decline in nuclear power generation. 15.07 billion
kWh were generated.
Capacity utilization rates in 2003 and 2002 were 48.5% and 84.7% respectively
(Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).
2. State of the Companies
