News Release Nucor Breaks Ground on Kentucky Plate Mill BRANDENBURG, KENTUCKY, October 23, 2020 – Nucor Corporation, Kentucky state officials, and local government leaders held a groundbreaking today for the company’s new steel plate mill in Brandenburg, Kentucky. The new $1.70 billion plate mill will create more than 400 full-time jobs and be fully operational in 2022. “We are very excited to begin construction on our new plate mill in Kentucky. This state-of-the-art mill will make us a market leader in steel plate products,” said Leon Topalian, President & CEO of Nucor Corporation. “We have been doing business in Kentucky for over a decade and have benefited from the strong business climate and great local workforce.” When the mill is completed, Nucor will have the ability to produce 97 percent of the steel plate products consumed in the U.S. market. The location on the Ohio River will give Nucor transportation advantages in serving the Midwest plate market, which is the largest plate-consuming market in the U.S. “The new plate mill helps us advance our goal of expanding our product portfolio, particularly growing our production of value-added plate products. When it is completed and operational, we’ll be one of only two companies that can produce essentially all of the plate sizes consumed in the U.S. today,” said Al Behr, Executive Vice President of Plate & Structural Products. Nucor operates more than 15 facilites in the state and employs over 2,000 teammates. In addition to the new plate mill, Nucor has invested more than $800 million in its steel sheet mill in Ghent to add a new galvanizing line and expand the production capacity of the mill – a project that is expected to be completed by the middle of next year. “We want to thank Governor Beshear, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority, and local officials in Meade County and the City of Brandenburg for their support of this project,” said Johnny Jacobs, Vice President & General Manager of Nucor Steel Brandenburg. “We look forward to growing our Brandenburg team and becoming an important part of this community.” Nucor Executive Offices: 1915 Rexford Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211 Phone 704.366.7000 | Fax 704.362.4208 | www.nucor.com .

Brief on Exceptions of Nucor Steel Auburn, Inc
STATE OF NEW YORK PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION CASE 03-E-0188 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission Regarding a Retail Renewable Portfolio Standard. BRIEF ON EXCEPTIONS OF NUCOR STEEL AUBURN, INC. Overview The Recommended Decision (“RD”) issued on June 3, 2004, culminates a fifteen month effort to assess the practical ramifications of a Commission policy to spur development of renewable resources to serve New York’s growing electric load. As described in the Introduction and Background section to the RD, mounting state concerns regarding the environmental costs of fossil-fired generation (particularly air emissions) and growing dependence on natural-gas fired generators are the prime motivators for more aggressive pursuit of “clean” energy resources. This interest in renewable, low-emitting or non-emitting resources is inextricably linked to New York’s policies to promote economic development. As Chairman Flynn remarked in his address to the Center for Business Intelligence forum on New York Power Supply in New York City on June 11, 2004: From Clean-Fueled vehicle programs designed to encourage development of cleaner transportation technologies and alternative fuels, to Executive Order lll’s call for more efficient and cleaner use among state-owned facilities, to tax credits that encourage construction of “green” buildings, Governor Pataki has developed a comprehensive energy agenda that balances the need for more energy resources with the need to protect our environment and encourage economic development. The Governor has consistently emphasized the importance of energy’s role in linking environmental protection with economic development.1 Nucor Steel Auburn, Inc. (“Nucor”) has been an active participant in this docket.

The Partnership of Nucor and Danieli Teams Will Bring the Gallatin Casting and Rolling Plant to the Next Level of High-Quality Production and Competitiveness
The partnership of Nucor and Danieli teams will bring the Gallatin casting and rolling plant to the next level of high-quality production and competitiveness. This is the first time that a classical compact thin slab casting and rolling plant is fully reconfigured into an ultra-modern QSP® (Quality Strip Production) plant. Both Nucor and Danieli teams are committed to set a new benchmark in Casting and Rolling Technology. Formerly known as the Gallatin Steel Company, the thin slab rolling plant located in Ghent, KY has a name plate capacity of 1.6 million shTPY of hot rolled coils having a thickness range from 1.4 to 12.7 mm, widths up to 1,625 mm and maximum coil weight of 35 shTon. The existing plant operates a 185 t twin shell DC EAF, a single LMF, a vertical caster, 206 m tunnel furnace, a six-stand close-coupled rolling mill, traditional laminar cooling and one down coiler. The current capabilities of the steel plant are mostly structural steel, micro-alloyed grades and thin line pipe grades. Like similar compact plants, Gallatin was originally designed for doubling the annual capacity by means of a second meltshop, second vertical caster and tunnel furnace connected by a swivel ferry system to the in-line HSM. The new equipment was originally meant to be a copy of the existing one. In October 2014, Nucor became the owner of the Gallatin Steel Company and has recently approved an investment to advance the technological capabilities and competitiveness of the Nucor Steel Gallatin Sheet Mill. Danieli is the selected technology supplier for the complete equipment and automation system, from raw materials to hot rolled coil.
