Stegra Secures $1.7 Billion From Wallenberg-Led Group

The deal will fully fund completion of Stegra’s green steel plant and strengthen its financial position as construction ramps up.

  • On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Stegra announced an agreement in principle for €1.4 billion in new financing led by Wallenberg Investments to complete its large-scale green steel plant in Boden, Sweden.
  • After several slower months during funding activities, Stegra will ramp up construction, using capital to cover increased project costs, infrastructure insourcing, and establish a financial buffer for plant completion.
  • Alongside Wallenberg Investments, the consortium includes Temasek and IMAS, with existing shareholders Altor, Hy24, and Just Climate providing support. CEO Henrik Henriksson said the financing reflects "strong conviction" in Stegra's business model.
  • Investors intend to nominate Leif Johansson as new Chair of the Board, succeeding Shaun Kingsbury. Wallenberg Investment's Håkan Buskhe and Altor's Managing Partner Paal Weberg are also proposed for board positions.
  • Signing of principal agreements is expected by the end of April, with the financing round closing in June 2026. Stegra noted the project timeline remains under review.
