Industry

Industry covers the sectors whose books turn on the price of electricity and gas: steel, chemicals, cement, aluminium and paper. This is where siting decisions belong, along with plant closures and expansions, investment in direct reduction and electrification, production curtailed when prices spike, and the supply chains all of it depends on.

What separates this from the energy categories is which way it looks: those cover generation, this one covers the plants that consume it and whose investments have to pay back over decades. Where a report cites capacities, output or costs, those figures come from the sources named in the article. Generation is covered under Energy & Grid and Renewable Energy, subsidy policy under Policy & Society.
