Electricity Generated and Purchased in November 2004 (Bulletin)

2004/12/15
FEPC

1. Nationwide Summary

Total electricity generated and purchased in November 2004 was up 1.3% across the ten companies to 71.86 billion kWh. The rise was due to increased large industrial user demand.

(Breakdown)

Hydro	Flow rates were above those of last year, leading to a rise in hydro power generation. 4.92 billion kWh were generated, up 5.7%.
Thermal	Increased use of nuclear power led to an 8.1% decline in thermal generation. 32.68 billion kWh were generated.
Nuclear	The capacity utilization rate at all companies was up compared to last year, resulting in a 17% rise in nuclear power generation. 22.55 billion kWh were generated. Capacity utilization rates in 2004 and 2003 were 70.4% and 62.1% respectively (Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).

2. State of the Companies

With the exception of Tohoku and Okinawa, business results in the rest of the companies rose due to bullish industrial user demand.

[Monthly Peak Load]

Combined peak load for the 10 companies was 130.167 million kWh (recorded at 18:00, 18 November), up 0.3% 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 126.0%.
