European steelmakers shifting to low-carbon production and electric arc furnaces, while electricity requirements, competitive costs, and raw material availability affect global competition. EUROFER estimated that the European steel sector currently consumes 75 TWh of electricity per year, expected to increase to 160 TWh in 2030.
