Poland's steel industry demands government intervention reducing industrial electricity prices to €50 per megawatt-hour, seeking competitive parity alongside Germany's proposed energy subsidies. Polish producers currently face electricity costs exceeding €100 per megawatt-hour, creating profound disadvantages relative to subsidized German competitors. The sector argues these disparities threaten facility viability, employment, & investment across Poland's 8 to 10 million metric ton annual steel production capacity. The demand exemplifies subsidy escalation dynamics fragmenting European Union single market principles as member states pursue unilateral competitiveness measures.
