The EU Competition policy regulates state aid provisions in support of projects for the development of clean energy, industrial decarbonisation and clean technology, while addressing competitive distortions in the Single Market.
The metals sector depends on access and availability of decarbonised electricity at globally competitive costs, given our electricity-intensity and exposure to international competition.
EU State aid rules play an essential role to ensure that this challenge is overcome, and our industry remains competitive in its energy transition.
An industry-friendly competition framework is essential to achieve the EU’s decarbonisation objective and maintain a competitive industrial base.
