Europe’s biggest steelmaker ArcelorMittal SA has slapped a surcharge on some products due to surging power prices, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Long steel products sold by ArcelorMittal in Europe will be subject to a 50 euro ($58) a ton surcharge, said the person, who asked not to be named as the matter is private. It follows a similar move last week by U.K.-based British steel, which said it’s hiked prices by 30 pounds ($41) a ton.
