Energy imbalance is becoming a permanent limitation for production. Following repeated power outages in the summer, the current gas shortage and concerns over diesel supply in the cold season are putting more pressure on the steel chain and mines. The head of the IMIDRO board has reported a 10 million ton drop in steel production and a decrease of over 8 billion dollars in exports last year, with mining sector activists warning about the continuation of this trend. In this context, the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade announces the development of a 40-article package to manage energy limitations in winter.
