A declining number of service agreements, less use of air conditioning equipment due to the weather and other factors resulted in a 4.9% decline in sales volume YoY for this category.
2. Demand for extra high-voltage power services: Down 7.1% YoY
(1) Commercial (office building and commercial facility customers)
Less use of air conditioning equipment due to the weather and other factors resulted in a 1.5% decline in sales volume YoY for this category.

Owing to the deteriorating economy after fall 2008, a drop in production in nearly all industry sectors, including machinery and iron and steel, resulted in a 9.2% decline in sales volume YoY for this category.
