Energy Consumption Energy Consumption by Fuel | Fuel Consumption by End Use | Energy Consumption by Sector | Energy Expenditures | Onsite Generation | Energy Intensity About 10% of electricity used by the steel industry is produced onsite, primarily through cogeneration. Almost all onsite generation occurs in integrated steel mills. Cogeneration can provide competitive advantages over purchased electricity, since thermal efficiencies are much higher and excess electricity can be sold back to the grid. Several large cogeneration facilities have been built recently, but these projects have all been funded by third parties.
