１９００年代以前、市部のエネルギー消費は郡部のおよそ４０％程度に過ぎなかった。理由としては輸送機関が未整備のため農山村からの薪炭供給能力に制約があったことや、都市住宅は狭く小型暖房器具や小型の竃及び七輪が主要な利用機器だったことが挙げられる。日露戦争後の１９００年代後半になると交通網も発達し、電力利用の増加や所得水準の向上も相まって市部におけるエネルギー消費は顕著な増加傾向に転じる。しかし１９２０年代後半からの不況と電力網拡大の沈静化などにより消費量はその後若干減少した。

Translation

Before the 1900s, energy consumption of urban areas was only about 40% of the rural districts. One of the reason was that the capacity of the fuel wood supply from the rural areas was restricted due to the underdeveloped transportation. Another reason was that the heating equipment, the small Hettsui stove or charcoal stove was mainly used since the urban houses were very narrow. When it comes to the second half of the 1900s, after the Russo-Japanese War, the transportation network developed and it increased power usage. The income level also rose, so the energy consumption in urban areas significantly increased. However, from the late 1920s, the economy dropped and the power grid expansion stopped, so the consumption was slightly decreased.

電熱が家庭で利用され始めたのは１９１０年代以降で、最も古い記録は京都電灯による電熱器貸付けである。その後大都市で家庭電熱の供給体制が整備され、１９２０年代に電熱使用は増加するが、電力消費に占める割合は低くとどまった。戦前日本においてラジオとアイロン以外の電気製品の普及は遅れたが、電力の熱源としての利用が高価であったことが理由であろう。電力のほかに重要なエネルギー源としては農村における農業廃棄物と亜炭がある。亜炭は火力が弱いが保温性がよく安価で、限られた地域で産出・利用された。

Electric heating's began to be used at home in the 1910s. The oldest usage recorded is electric heater lending by Kyoto lamp. After that, the supply system for home electric heating was developed in the larger cities, then the electric heating use was increased in the 1920s. Yet the percentage of power consumption remained low. In Japan before WWII, the penetration of electrical products except for the iron and radio was slow. It was probably because using them as a heat source of power was expensive. There are lignite and agricultural waste in rural areas as an important energy source besides electric power. The firepower of lignite is weak but it is warmth and inexpensive, so they were produced and used in some limited areas.
