After reading the article, I would guess that the blast furnaces are gas powered. Since Britain no longer is purchasing gas from Russia, the price is likely too high to run the blast furnaces, therefore pushing a costly transition to electric ard furnaces.

Just because the article doesn’t mention Russia specifically, we must analyze why it is no longer cost effective to run the blast furnaces.
