According to a report “The Energy Price Gap - A New Power Deal for UK Steel” UK steel companies pay 62% more for electricity than Germany firms and 80% more than those in France. It said that “The UK’s energy intensive industries face some of the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. This damages the steel sector’s competitiveness as it is both electro-intensive and highly exposed to international competition, meaning it cannot pass on additional costs to customers. With steel producers’ direct competitiveness and levels of investment both being affected, electricity prices have become a major ongoing concern for the sector and its long-term sustainability.”
UK Steel director general Mr Gareth Stace said that “Our new report plainly demonstrates that UK steelmakers face systemically and persistently higher electricity prices than our competitors. Electricity is one of the biggest costs for the steel industry and it damages our competitiveness that we are consistently forced to pay significantly more. The Government must act now to provide that level playing field the sector desperately needs.”
