Electricity Generated and Purchased in November2003 (Bulletin)
（2003/12/15）

1. Nationwide Summary

Total electricity generated and purchased in November was down 4.2%, due to decreased demand for heating caused by higher temperatures. 70.85 billion kWh were generated.


Breakdown
Hydro
Flow rates were above those of last year, leading to a rise in hydro power generation. 4.66 billion kWh were generated, up 16.5%.
Thermal
Overall decline in generated and purchased led to a 9.7% decline in thermal generation. 35.47 billion kWh were generated.

Nuclear
The capacity utilization rate at all companies was down compared to last year, resulting in a 4.3% decline in nuclear power generation. 19.27 billion kWh were generated.
Capacity utilization rates in 2003 and 2002 were 62.1% and 64.8% respectively (Japan Atomic Power Company figures excluded).

2. State of the Companies
With the exception of Okinawa, business results at the rest of the companies were down due to decreased demand for heating caused by higher temperatures.

Monthly Peak Load
Combined peak load for the 10 companies was 129.810 million kWh (recorded at 18:00, 27 November), down 2.5% on last year.

Flow Rates
With the exception of Hokkaido, Tohoku and Chugoku, flow rates at the rest of the companies were above average. As a result, the flow rate across the nine companies was 110.1%.
