Following a request from EU Energy Ministers, the European Commission decided to extend its analysis and produce a follow up review of the energy prices and costs study published in January 2014. DG GROW selected a consortium of consultants (led by CEPS) to carry out a series of case studies about the evolution, composition and drivers of energy prices and costs faced by selected energy-intensive industries in the period 2008-2015. As in the previous edition, two ceramic sectors were selected to participate – bricks and roof tiles and wall and floor tiles – among the three other sectors taking part (steel, aluminium and refineries).
