"The plunge in demand has translated into only a bare minimum of power being sent," Kim told reporters,denying that the drop was intentional.
"需求锐减已译成只对最基本的力量正在发送,"金告诉记者,否认是故意下降.
He said that while power lines and sub stations can still handle the maximum load,there is no reason to send so much power,since all factories in Kaesong are closed.
他说,而电源线和子站仍然可以处理的最大负荷,也没有理由送这么大的权力,因为在开城工业园区的所有工厂关闭.
The spokesman declined to elaborate,but a source at the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp.(KEPCO) said about 3,000 kilowatts of power is being used at Kaesong.KEPCO officials said that even before operations were halted at the zone,power sent from the South hovered between half and a third of the maximum capacity.该发言人拒绝透露细节,但国营的韩国电力公司（KEPCO ）源说,约3000万千瓦的电力被用于在开城.
KEPCO官员说,即使在操作停止在该区域,功率从南方发送的最大容量的一半和三分之一之间徘徊.
One KEPCO official said that because power is still reaching the industrial park,the water treatment facility there is still working.The water processed there is supplied to tens of thousands of Kaesong citizens.
KEPCO官员说,因为权力仍然达到工业园区,水处理设施仍工作.在那里进行处理的水被供给到几十千开城公民.
