Presented paper deals with the composition of total costs of foundry casting production with special accent on electrical energy ratio participating. Typical calculation of costs is introduced with the help of industrial partner. There was analyzed how changes in variable costs especially electricity prices affect final foundry production price. Timeline charts characterizing correlation of energy prices and basic metal production prices are presented. We discuss change in fixed costs contribution with potential negative effects. Possible influence of competitiveness in global range is considered too. Results are presented and conclusions are proposed.
