Stegra granted additional state aid from the Industrial Leap

“It gives us the possibility to strengthen Swedish and European competitiveness.”

The Swedish Energy Agency has announced that Stegra has been granted €37 million from the Industrial Leap. The grant goes towards the establishment of Stegra’s fully integrated near zero emission steel production facility in Boden.

Stegra was previously awarded €100 million from the Industrial leap in September 2024, after the European Commission approved, under EU State aid rules, a €265 million Swedish measure made available in part through the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Today, an additional €37 million in grants has been announced by the Swedish Energy Agency.  

“We are grateful for the Swedish Energy Agency’s decision. It gives us the possibility to strengthen Swedish and European competitiveness. There is still a gap to what the EU has approved, and we hope that further steps can be taken to close it and provide a more level playing field in relation to other projects”, says Henrik Henriksson, CEO Stegra.
