Rautaruukki participating in Fennovoima's nuclear power project

Rautaruukki has today confirmed to Voimaosakeyhtiö SF its binding commitment to
participate in Fennovoima's Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant project.
Rautaruukki's share of the output of the plant's nominal capacity is estimated
to be around 40 MW. Over the following 10 years, Rautaruukki will invest around
EUR 60 million in the project. Most of the investment will be back loaded.

Rautaruukki's involvement in the project is one way the company can spread
purchases of the electricity needed in steel production. The company seeks to
ensure a long-term supply of competitive, steadily-priced, carbon-dioxide-free
electricity.

Fennovoima's Hanhikivi 1 nuclear power plant is to be built in Pyhäjoki,
Northern Ostrobothnia. The power plant is scheduled to enter commercial service
in 2024.
