Stegra remains unclear on steel plant production start date

Stegra, the company behind a planned steel plant near Boden, Sweden, has not yet set a new date for the commencement of production. The project's timeline has been under review since April, following an earlier postponement from late 2026 to early 2027.

We will provide a timeline when we have the opportunity to do so.

"We will provide a timeline when we have the opportunity to do so," stated Stegra's press manager Karin Hallstan. She indicated that the company is currently focused on increasing productivity at the construction site before communicating a revised plan to customers and stakeholders. "There is no timeline right now? – Of course there is, but it is not something we will comment on," Hallstan added.

Stegra recently secured 1.4 billion euros in a financing round, with Wallenberg Investments contributing 250 million euros and taking a leading position in the company. "After a period of lower activity during the financing round, Stegra will now increase the pace of construction. The project's timeline is currently under review," the company stated in April. Hallstan confirmed that an update on the production schedule will be provided to stakeholders in the autumn.

Wallenberg Investments, through Jacob Wallenberg, expressed confidence in Stegra's business model and its importance for Sweden, but offered no specific details on the production start date. "I can't say. In line with the plans that have been in place. I shouldn't give any exact dates here," Wallenberg told TT last month.
