FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) today announced that they recently joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Green Power Partnership (GPP). Steel Dynamics was recognized by the U.S. EPA appearing number 21 on their list of Green Power Partners from the Fortune 500® and number 33 on their National Top 100 List of the largest green power users from the GPP. In 2023, Steel Dynamics steel mills utilized 690 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power, which is enough to meet 10 percent of its steel mill operations' electricity use and achieve its 2025 renewable electrical energy goal.

"We are proud to be recognized by the U.S. EPA for our use of green power," said Jeff Hansen, Vice President Environmental Sustainability. "By making the choice to use renewable power in our energy mix, we are reducing our emissions footprint, while also supporting the build-out of the renewable power market and development of those resources."

"This list of the largest users of green power across the nation is proof that good business practices can also benefit the environment," said James Critchfield, Program Director of EPA's Green Power Partnership. "EPA applauds the leading organizations in the Green Power Partnership's Top Partner Rankings for their notable commitment to expanding their use of green power and protecting the environment."

In 2023, Steel Dynamics signed the largest renewable product purchase agreement for the steel industry in North America, equivalent to approximately 15% of the company's steel mills' electricity usage. This wind energy center began commercial operation in the first quarter of 2024 and represents the single most significant step in increasing its exposure to renewable energy, propelling the company much of the way to its 2030 goal of 30% renewable electricity. This project is also expected to meaningfully contribute to its long-term reduction of Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity.

Steel Dynamics is already a leader in producing lower-carbon, high-quality steel products and plans to continue to play a leadership role in decarbonization.
