Abstract

In the early 21st century, China approached the final phase of its heavy and chemical industrialization, marked by excessive blind investments in energy-intensive industries and redundant, low-efficiency projects. These practices triggered a surge in energy consumption and exacerbated environmental pollution. Against this backdrop, the differentiated electricity pricing policy emerged as a critical instrument to drive industrial restructuring through price leverage, balancing economic growth with ecological protection. By examining electricity expenditure and production technology adaptations across steel companies, tracking the evolution of China’s differentiated electricity pricing policy, and analyzing strategies adopted by global steel industry leaders to address similar policies, this study synthesizes the impacts of differentiated electricity pricing on steel enterprises. It provides actionable recommendations for their sustainable development.
