Spanish steelmaker Hydnum Steel has secured access to 500 MW of electricity capacity for its clean steel plant project. The power connection at the Brazatortas grid node in Ciudad Real marks a key regulatory milestone for the development of Spain’s first low-carbon steel facility. 

The allocated capacity will support the operation of the plant’s electric arc furnace. The project is designed as a fully digital and renewable-powered steel plant focused on hot-rolled coil production. Initial output is expected to reach 1.5 million tons per year, with long-term expansion targeting up to 2.7 million tons. 

The project is expected to begin construction as early as this year, with an investment exceeding EUR 1.5 billion. The facility aims to strengthen Spain’s low-emission steel supply and support industrial decarbonisation.
