class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production of lime and cement is highly energy-intensive, making SigmaRoc’s margins vulnerable to swings in electricity and fuel prices; energy represented about 18% of variable costs in 2024 across European sites. Despite hedging, prolonged high energy costs in 2022–24 cut operating margins by an estimated 150–250 basis points at peak. By end-2025 the group’s kiln-efficiency upgrades are partly complete but require roughly £120–180m more capex to fully offset volatility.
