OVERVIEW OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN JUNE 2003
The purpose of this document is to provide information concerning the operation of the French public transmission network and power system during the past month.
The data published are interim figures dated 10 July 2003.
N A T I O N A L E L E C T R I C A L C O N S U M P T I O N I N F R A N C E
National consumption is the total of all the electrical energy supplied for consumption in France (including Corsica, but not the French Overseas Departments), thermal and hydro generation + imports – exports – pumping, and which have been consumed in the transmission and distribution networks, by the end-users, as well as by losses.

RTE-in house reference drawn up on basis of METEOFRANCE data
National consumption in June 2003 has risen by 1.8% compared with that of June 2002. The June average temperature which has been 2.9°C higher in 2003 than in June 2002 has resulted in consumption linked to higher use of air-conditioning. Adjusted for climatic effects, monthly consumption has increased by 1.3% compared with June 2002.
The consumption growth rate adjusted over 12 months has fallen by 0.1% since last month, whereas the national consumption growth rate over the last 12 months has remained stable.

The following facilities were commissioned on the RTE network in June 2003 :
• 225 kV lines Arrighi-Villeneuve St Georges and Chevilly-Villeneuve St Georges for strengthening supply to the substation at Villeneuve St Georges in the Paris region;
• the 90 kV substation at Noord Gracht, cutting across the 90 kV Coudekerque-Grande Synthe line, as part of restructuring the 90 kV network in the Dunkerque region;
• the 63 kV substation at Grand Noble and the 5 km-long 63 kV underground line between Grand Noble and Ginestous, for securing supply to the airport zone in Blagnac;
• the 63 kV Bruges-Margaux line, and the removal from service of the 63 kV Margaux-Pauillac and Bruges-Cissac 1 lines, in order to restructure supply to substations at Margaux and Pauillac.
