Electric Power Supply and Demand Results for Winter 2012

Now that the period of Government-requested nationwide energy conservation is over, Chubu Electric Power would like to announce that it has compiled electric power supply and demand results for this winter.

Thanks to our customers' efforts to energy conservation, we were able to provide a stable supply of electricity during the winter of FY2012.

We thank our customers sincerely for their ongoing energy-conservation efforts.

(1)Peak load(generating end)

Chubu Electric Power had projected a peak load (average demand for the three days of highest demand) of 22,810 MW in winter FY2012. (Reported November 06, 2012)

Thanks to the ongoing efforts of so many customers to save energy and the fact that it was not a severely cold winter, our peak load (average demand for the three days of highest demand) was 22,240 MW (February 2013) in winter FY2012.

[Maximum power three-day average per month (generating end)]

	December 2012	January 2013	February 2013	March 2013
Maximum power three-day average	2,186	2,186	2,224	1,995

(Reference)[Winter 2012 one-time peak load (generating end)]

	February 2013
One-time peak load	2,258

 (2) Effects of energy conservation measures

As in the year before, many customers worked to save energy in their homes and businesses. We estimate that the effects of energy conservation measures in our service area were 650 MW (energy savings of 2.8%).

[Average effect of conservation measures for this period (with FY2010 as baseline)]

Effects of energy conservation measures		650MW
Breakdown	Domestic customers	150MW
	Corporate customers	500MW

(3)Supply capacity

In January 2013, commercial operation began at Joetsu Thermal Power Station Unit No. 1-2 (output 595 MW), and, after determining that it would not compromise supply stability in our own service area, we provided supplementing electric power of up to 820 MW (weekday daytime) at the request of other electric power companies that foresaw supply shortages.

We thank our customers sincerely for their ongoing energy-conservation efforts again in winter FY2012.
