【SMM Steel】British Steel moves toward full nationalization
【SMM Steel】British Steel is expected to be fully nationalized within weeks. The UK government took over operations from China's Jingye Group in April 2025 to prevent the Scunthorpe plant's closure. Steel has been designated a national security industry. The Scunthorpe plant has the UK's last two blast furnaces. Operating costs hit £377m by Jan 2026. British Steel supports nationalization for stability. Any new owner must invest heavily in EAF technology to replace blast furnaces.
