Alec Steele's visit to Tata Steel 

Yeah, I work for the company that is likely going to supply the arc furnaces. For context, we supplied TATAs corby plant recently and that was 4 2MW power supplies, @620v. Port Talbot will likely be ~20+MW. Expected somewhere between 30-60 thousand amps

These furnaces are probably much larger / more efficient (I'm not sure). It'll be interesting to see what happens when they go over to induction

I remember those days from the 1960's. Two modern, two old, one ancient by standards of the day.

The electric arc furnace runs on scrap only. It’s not the same animal at all.

Net zero

Unfortunately that's the way the cookie crumbles, coal is expensive, and dirty

What do you expect when in the UK we produce 7 million tons, China produces 1 billion, I served my time there in the 80s, and worked many shutdown, what boils my piss is when news readers state that whilst this is in decline it's gonna have a dramatic effect on the local community, when I was there nobody I knew was from the local community they were all from Swansea Llanelli Rhonda maesteg caerau Cardiff chapstow

It's closed now ain't it pal so sorry about that
