Liberty Steel UK has relaunched production at its Greensteel Rotherham electric arc furnace, with restart and operation at night to maximise efficiency and mitigate high energy costs.
Operations at Rotherham are scheduled to run between 11pm and 6am when energy costs will be lower. The site produces sustainably produced steel for growth markets such as infrastructure and high value engineering and is among the UK’s most electro-intensive industrial sites.
Liberty’s speciality steel division in nearby Stocksbridge, which produces steel components for demanding aerospace and energy applications, is also restarting production campaigns for key customers.
