India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
Poland’s steel industry is urging the government to swiftly cut electricity prices for energy-intensive sectors to around €50/MWh, warning that current power costs are a major barrier to recovery and long-term competitiveness. The call was voiced during the New Industry Forum in Katowice, where industry leaders stressed that other EU countries are already rolling out targeted relief measures.
Mirosław Motyka, president of the Chamber of Metallurgical Industry and Trade, noted that the sector has prepared detailed solutions but now needs rapid implementation. He supported European Commission proposals to curb duty-free steel imports and apply the “smelted and cast” principle, yet emphasised that without competitive energy prices, Polish mills will continue to lose ground to European rivals.
The debate comes amid the revival of Huta Częstochowa, now controlled by Węglokoks, which has produced 213,000 tonnes of steel this year and targets 500,000 tonnes in 2025. Market participants, however, underline the need for a level playing field between state-owned and private producers.
Industry representatives also flagged strategic challenges such as the future of blast furnace technology, protection of coke and chemical producers from cheap Asian imports, and tightening scrap regulations. Without rapid anti-crisis decisions on energy and industrial policy, they warn Poland risks ceding its position in the European steel market.
