Electricity Generated and Purchased in the First Half of 2004 (Bulletin)
2004/10/15
FEPC
1. Nationwide Summary
Total electricity generated and purchased in the first half of 2004 saw an increase of 5.3% due to increased demand for cooling caused by record high summer temperatures, coupled with bullish demand from large industrial users. 478.30 billion kWh were generated.
(Breakdown)
Hydro | The flow rate was down compared to last year's first half, resulting in a decline of 8.2% to 41.26 billion kWh. |
Thermal | Increased use of nuclear power led to a 4.8% decline in thermal power generation. 222.24 billion kWh were generated. |
Nuclear | The capacity utilization rate at all companies was up compared to last
year's first half, resulting in a 40.9% rise in nuclear power generation.
137.75 billion kWh were generated. Capacity utilization rates in 2004 and 2003 were 71.5% and 51.6% respectively (Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded). |
2. State of the Companies
With the exception of Okinawa, business results in all companies were up, due to increased demand for cooling caused by record high summer temperatures, and bullish industrial user demand.
[ Monthly Peak Load ]
Combined peak load for the ten companies was 174.000 million kWh (recorded at 15:00, 20 July), up 4.0% on last year's first half.
[ Flow Rates ]
With the exception of Kyushu, flow rates at the rest of the companies were above average. As a result, the flow rate across the 9 companies was 103.8%.
