Sydney Steel Mill Sees EAF Activity Rebound, Signaling Supply Stability for Infrastructure Sector

GFG Liberty Sydney Steel Mill, located in New South Wales, Australia, and owned by GFG Alliance, produces long steel products primarily for the building and infrastructure sectors, with an annual crude steel capacity of 750,000 tonnes. Recent thermal activity fluctuations at the plant’s Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) have potential implications for regional steel supply.

Observed EAF activity at GFG Liberty Sydney Steel Mill experienced a dip between May and July 2025, with the lowest point recorded in July. However, activity rebounded sharply in September to levels comparable with March and April, indicating a return to previous production levels.

The rebound in EAF activity at the Sydney mill suggests a stabilization of steel supply for the building and infrastructure sectors it serves. This may mitigate potential disruptions stemming from fluctuations in global steel production, as highlighted by “ArcelorMittal produced 29.2 million tons of steel in 1H2025,” which indicates a 2.7% quarterly decrease in steel production in Q2. The recent activity increase at GFG Liberty Sydney Steel Mill could offset such global fluctuations regionally.
