Let's give an example: Tata Steel Netherlands produced 6.33 million tons of steel for 2023 (source: https://www.tatasteel.com/media/20341/tsl-4qfy2024-production-sales-figure.pdf). Let's assume they did all that with electric arc furnaces (they didn't, but let's assume the best case scenario). That requires 2.25 gigajoules per ton (source: http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2016/ph240/martelaro1/).

That's around 4 TWh in electricity annually, or 11 GWh daily. Let's assume a two-day dunkelflaute: 22 GWh in batteries at $100 per kWh, much cheaper than today. 1/2
