Shandong Shouguang Juneng Special Steel to build new 130-meter EDP

The Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shandong Province of China has announced that, in accordance with the requirements of the Iron and Steel Industry Capacity Substitution Measure, the capacity substitution plan for the new 130-meter Electric arc Furnace (EAF) project of Shandong Shouguang Juneng Special Steel Co., Ltd. is hereby published for public information. The public notification period runs from July 6, 2026 to July 27, 2026.

Accordingly, Shouguang Juneng Special Steel Co., Ltd. plans to begin construction of its new 130-meter electric arc furnace (EDP) in October 2027, with commissioning scheduled for September 2029. The project provides for the phased decommissioning of one 70-meter EDP (with an annual capacity of 443,900 tons) and one 80-meter converter (with an annual capacity of 887,700 tons). The EDP capacity will be replaced in a 1:1 ratio, while the converter capacity will be replaced in a 1.5:1 ratio using 834,150 tons of steelmaking capacity for this project. The remaining 53,550 mt of capacity will be allocated for future use. The new equipment will be used for alloy steel smelting and will be built on the original site of the existing 70 mm EDP.
