ELECTRICITY DEMAND IS GROWING. IS THE GRID READY TO MEET IT?
The U.S. Department of Energy reports 70% of transmission lines are over 25 years old and approaching the end of a 50–80-year lifecycle, even as data centers, electrified transportation and onshoring advanced manufacturing facilities add new demand. Utilities can't afford a decade-long permitting and development cycle when demand is already outpacing supply. The materials chosen for the future grid buildout can have a big impact on project delivery timelines, as well as grid durability and lifespan.
American-made, EAF steel offers a faster, more reliable path forward. Backed by a robust domestic steel supply chain, Nucor has 140,000 tons of finished steel utility pole capacity including facilities in West Hazelton, Pennsylvania; Decatur, Alabama; Crawfordsville, Indiana; and Brigham City, Utah.
