Severstal, which already supplies steel to General Motors and Ford, plans a cold-rolled steel mill and galvanizing line in Dearborn. It acquired the plant in 2004 as part of its $285.5 billion takeover of bankrupt steel supplier Rouge Industries. Under one incentive program created in a 2005 energy bill, companies such as Ormat Technologies, a unit of Yavne, Israel-based Ormat Industries, are eligible for Energy Department loan guarantees if their projects are located in the United States, according to the legislation. U.S. units of Seville, Spain-based Abengoa have also received loans under the program. The program from which Severstal received its conditional commitment was created in a 2007 energy bill. Mordashov said last month that he plans to boost Severstal's production capacity in the United States to 5.2 million tons a year, narrowing the gap with competitors U.S. Steel, ArcelorMittal, Nucor and Steel Dynamics.
