The subsidy aims to limit the effective electricity price for eligible companies, which must invest at least half of the support received into climate-friendly production measures. Approximately 9,500 firms, particularly in the steel, cement, and chemical sectors, are expected to benefit, with the target price set at €50 per megawatt-hour. This decision follows longstanding calls from industry associations for a dedicated industrial electricity price to mitigate high energy costs and enhance competitiveness.
