Demand Overview (Total Across the Ten Power Companies)
Total demand for power and lighting in 1997 was up 2.2% on last year to
791.4 billion kWh across the ten companies.
1. Residential demand rose by only 1.8% due to mild summer and winter temperatures
that reduced demand for heating and cooling, particularly in western Japan.
Service demand, however, posted a firm rise of 4.5%.
2. Large industrial demand was up by 2.0%, increasing for the fourth consecutive
year. The rise was due to overall bullish performance in the first half,
although business results in the steel, transport machinery and chemical
sectors were depressed in the second half of 1997 by the sluggish economy.
