Vulnerability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
sectors to rising<br />
electricity prices<br />
Key points<br />
• <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>re is c<strong>on</strong>siderable variati<strong>on</strong> from<br />
<strong>on</strong>e manufacturer to the next.<br />
• Basic metals industry (which<br />
includes ir<strong>on</strong> and steel and n<strong>on</strong>ferrous<br />
metals) is the most<br />
electricity-intensive <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the thirteen<br />
industries<br />
• But some <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the other<br />
manufacturing activities including<br />
transport equipment, machinery and<br />
food in are am<strong>on</strong>g the least energyintensive.<br />
