○ Total demand in October was down 3.2% on last year to 66.3 billion kWh across the ten companies.

(Reference) Large Industrial Demand
Demand from Large Industrial Users was up the fifteenth consecutive month, rising by 2.6%.

The increase was due to firm performance in the non-ferrous metals and machinery sector, despite poor performance in the textile, paper & pulp and chemical sector.
