Electricity Demand in 2003 (Bulletin)

2004/4/16
FEPC

Demand Overview (Total Across the 10 Power Companies)

Total demand in 2003 was down 0.9% on the previous year to 834.3 billion kWh across the 10 companies.

Demand Excluding Extra High Voltage Demand

Relatively mild weather in winter and summer depressed demand for heating and cooling, resulting in a decline of 1.4% in lighting demand. Commercial demand, on the other hand, despite depressed demand for heating and cooling due to the mild weather, was aided by the extra leap-year day in February and posted a rise of 0.2%.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand

Large industrial user demand in 2003 was up for the second consecutive year, increasing by 0.2%.

The rise was due to firm performance in chemicals, the steel and the machinery sectors, and a longer meter-reading period resulting from the extra leap-year day in February.
