Stegra and Uniper enter electricity agreement for hydrogen plant

Stegra’s plant in Boden will produce green hydrogen, green iron and green steel, at large scale. The initial annual volume will be 2.5 million t of green steel and operations will start in 2026.

Significant volumes of electricity are needed to power the 700 MW electrolysis plant that will generate green hydrogen, which in turn will reduce iron ore to green sponge iron that will feed the steel production at Stegra’s plant in Boden. Through this collaboration with Uniper, Stegra has secured another important part of its electricity supply.

Arne Österlind, Head of Energy Portfolio at Stegra, said: "The agreement with Uniper forms the base for a strategic partnership with a player which can provide us with long-term access to electricity for our plant in Boden, set to produce green hydrogen, green iron and green steel at scale. This electricity delivery is central to our strategy and a key step towards accelerating reductions of industrial emissions in Europe."
