Tata Steel UK Plans Electric Arc Furnace Project Completion by 2028 with Power Access by 2029
Tata Steel UK is progressing with its 3.2 million tonne electric arc furnace (EAF) project at Port Talbot, aiming for completion by 2028 and electricity access by 2029. CEO T V Narendran confirmed no construction delays, with ongoing talks with National Grid to potentially start power supply earlier for trial runs. The £1.25 billion project, supported by £500 million in government funding, seeks to reduce site-level CO2 emissions by 90%, equivalent to 5 million tonnes annually, replacing a non-operational blast furnace.
