In 2010 sales volumes on the Italian market declined by 5.75 bcm, or 14.4%, to 34.29 bcm. The decline was driven by lower sales recorded in the power generation business (down 5.64 bcm), as clients opted to directly purchase gas on the marketplace. Lower sales to industrial customers (down 1.17 bcm) and wholesalers (down 1.08 bcm) were caused by increased competitive pressure fuelled by oversupply and weak demand. Sales on the Italian exchange for gas and spot markets increased by 2.28 bcm, while sales volumes to the residential sector (6.39 bcm, up 0.09 bcm) were nearly unchanged.
