Electricity Generated and Purchased in July 2003 (Bulletin)
（2003/8/15）

1. Nationwide Summary

Total electricity generated and purchased in July was down 12.5%, due to decreased demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures nationwide. 78.05 billion kWh were generated.


Breakdown
Hydro
Flow rates were above those of last year, leading to a rise in hydro power generation. 7.83 billion kWh were generated, up 2.0%.
Thermal
Despite decreased use of nuclear power, the overall decline in generated and purchased power led to a 4.3 decline in thermal generation. 38.96 billion kWh were generated.

Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last year, resulting in a 39.1% decline in nuclear power generation. 17.03 billion kWh were generated.
Capacity utilization rates in 2003 and 2002 were 53.1% and 87.1% respectively (Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).

2. State of the Companies
With the exception of Okinawa, business results at all companies declined due to decreased demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures nationwide.With the exception of Okinawa, business results at all companies declined due to decreased demand for cooling caused by lower temperatures nationwide.

Monthly Peak Load
