Nucor Steel Texas — Jewett, Texas

TYPE3’s map data identifies Nucor Steel Texas (Jewett) as a steel facility in Freestone County, with city precision, coordinates 31.3671, -96.1477, Operating status, and a 120 MW seed estimate. Its note describes an EAF mill and a melt-shop expansion that increased capacity 33 percent to 1.2 million tons per year, and it qualifies the power figure as unconfirmed. The Freestone County field conflicts with current TCEQ and EPA records, which place Nucor Steel Texas at 8812 US Highway 79 W, Jewett, in Leon County, with TCEQ coordinates 31.344406, -96.164425.

TCEQ air permit 53581, altered July 31, 2025, authorizes continued operation of the Jewett steel mill and states that production of molten steel shall not exceed 316 tons per hour, 6,600 tons per day, and 1,500,000 tons per year in any rolling 12-month period. A 2025 Texas House resolution marked the plant’s 50th anniversary, saying it was established in 1975 as one of the first U.S. EAF plants. Nucor’s 2025 annual report still lists a general manager for the Bar Mill Division in Jewett, Texas. Those facts support a living operating identity.

Do not merge Jewett with Nucor’s other Texas divisions or with SDI Sinton. Do not convert TYPE3’s 1.2 million tons per year, the permit’s 1.5 million tons per year, or GEM aggregator capacity into megawatts. The 120 MW estimate remains unconfirmed, and no reviewed source publishes current electrical demand or demand-response quantity.
