Such data is available to the customer for both viewing and downloading. Customers with multiple contracts also have access to tables detailing their data by the facility supplied with electricity.

ORIX commenced electric power trading business in 2009 as a power producer and supplier (PPS) (specified-scale electricity utility*1) supplying electricity at a discount to primarily high-voltage commercial sites such as shops and office buildings. Currently, ORIX supplies electricity inside the service areas of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated, Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc., and Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc.

Looking ahead, ORIX will actively expand its environment and energy business, which contributes to reducing customers' energy consumption and costs.
