(April 19, 2000)
Demand Overview (Total across the 10 Power Companies)
Total demand in 1999 was up 2.2% on last year to 816.9 billion kWh across
the 10 companies.
1.Residential & Commercial Demand
Both residential and commercial demand rose, increasing by 3.0% and 2.7%
respectively. The rise was due to high summer temperatures in eastern Japan
that led to increased demand for cooling.
2.Large Industrial Demand
Demand from large industrial users was up for the first time in two years,
increasing by 1.4% on last year.
The increase was due to bullish performance in the steel, paper & pulp
and electrical macninery sectors since August, despite poor performance
in most sectors in the first half of 1999.
