Electricity Generated and Purchased in Fiscal 2004 (Bulletin)
2005/4/15
FEPC
1. Nationwide Summary
Total electricity generated and purchased in FY2004 was up 3.7% across the ten companies to 947.60 billion kWh (up 4.0% adjusted for leap year). The rise was due to increased demand for heating and cooling caused by low winter temperatures and record high summer temperatures.
(Breakdown)
Hydro | Although the flow rate was up on last year, decreased use of pumped-storage hydroelectric power resulted in a 2.0% decline in hydroelectric generation. 70.91 billion kWh were generated. |
Thermal | Increased use of nuclear power resulted in a 1.8% decline in thermal power generation. 457.78 billion kWh were generated. |
Nuclear | The capacity utilization rate at all companies was up compared to last
year, resulting in a 19.0% increase in nuclear power generation. 262.48
billion kWh were generated. Capacity utilization rates in FY2004 and FY2003 were 67.8% and 58.2% respectively (Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded). |
2. State of the Companies
Business results at all companies rose due to increased demand for heating and cooling caused by low winter temperatures and record high summer temperatures.
[ Monthly Peak Load ]
Combined peak load for the ten companies was 174.00 million kWh (recorded at 15:00, 20 July), up 4.0% on last year.
[ Flow Rates ]
With the exception of Hokkaido, flow rates at all the companies were above average. As a result, the flow rate across the nine companies was 110.8%.
