Steel Dynamics Southwest, LLC (SDI)
Leveraging innovation and 100% zero-emission energy
Clean Energy and Real-Time Alerts
The company utilizes the TXU Energy Dashboard to monitor real-time market conditions and receive alerts when energy prices cross a pre-determined threshold. Reducing energy use during high-price periods increased SDI’s cost savings and enhanced grid reliability across Texas. TXU Energy, THG Energy, and AEP partnered to install equipment for SDI to access real-time energy use and costs for its manufacturing operation.
Energy Sourced from Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant
Additionally, SDI chose to supply the mill with 100% zero-emission energy, sourced from Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant in Glen Rose, Texas. This allows SDI to claim zero Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption as part of its sustainability reporting, which also helps SDI’s customers reach their own sustainability targets.
Our sustainability strategy is an ongoing journey, and we plan to use our entrepreneurial, innovative spirit to continue to be an industry leader.
Mark D. Millett, Co-Founder, Chariman, and CEO
