加州50多年来首座新钢厂落户克恩县 州长办公室称将带来700个岗位与零碳钢铁
萨克拉门托——加州州长办公室10月19日发布消息，推介太平洋钢铁集团（Pacific Steel Group）位于克恩县 Mojave 的 Mojave Micro Mill 微型钢厂项目。该厂是加州50多年来第一座新建钢厂，得到州长纽森「加州就业优先」（California Jobs First）计划的支持，预计创造约700个新岗位，并以电力冶炼技术与可再生能源生产零碳钢铁。
纽森在声明中说：「我们正把高薪岗位和全国最大的新建钢厂之一带到克恩县——更多的机会、更清洁的产业，以及真正惠及当地居民的增长。Mojave Micro Mill 表明，加州可以同时扩大钢铁制造、削减排放、改善公共健康并带动区域经济。」
据州长办公室介绍，该厂定于明年投产，主厂房面积约50万平方英尺，配套建设一座63英亩的太阳能电站供电。钢厂将以本地回收的废钢为原料，在电弧炉中冶炼，由厂区太阳能与电池储能系统供电，年产约38万吨抗震级螺纹钢，生产过程零排放，是全美第一座太阳能供电的钢厂。新岗位包括计算机系统工程师、钳工、焊工、电工以及自动化与机器人技术人员。
州政府对该项目的支持包括：太平洋钢铁集团2024年从州长「加州竞争」（California Competes）计划获得3000万美元税收抵免，作为交换，公司承诺投入超过5.4亿美元资本开支，并在钢厂运营的头五年创造近450个新岗位；加州能源委员会另批准最高1400万美元，用于建设一座32兆瓦时的长时储能电池，储存钢厂的太阳能电力；加州替代能源与先进交通融资局还批准了最高1000万美元的制造设备销售与使用税减免。
太平洋钢铁集团正与加州州立大学贝克斯菲尔德分校、克恩社区学院学区和羚羊谷社区学院合作建立就业通道，包括开设培养钢铁制造人才的证书课程。州长办公室称，「加州就业优先」计划自推出以来已在全州13个区域支持数百个早期项目，2025年全州相关投资近16亿美元。
First New California Steel Mill in Over 50 Years Lands in Kern County, Promising 700 Jobs and Zero-Carbon Steel
SACRAMENTO — The Office of Governor Gavin Newsom on October 19 spotlighted Pacific Steel Group's Mojave Micro Mill in Kern County, the first new steel mill built in California in more than 50 years. Backed by the Governor's California Jobs First program, the mill will use electric manufacturing technology and renewable energy, creating about 700 new jobs and producing zero-carbon steel.
'We're bringing good-paying jobs and one of the nation's biggest new steel mills to Kern County — more opportunity, cleaner industry, and growth that works for the people who live here,' Governor Newsom said. 'The Mojave Micro Mill shows how California can expand steel manufacturing, cut emissions, improve public health, and grow regional economies at the same time.'
According to the Governor's Office, the mill is slated to open next year. The site will house a 500,000-square-foot main building and a 63-acre solar farm. The mill will melt locally sourced scrap in an electric arc furnace powered by on-site solar and battery storage, producing about 380,000 tons of seismic-grade rebar per year with zero process emissions — the first solar-powered steel mill in the United States. New jobs will include computer system engineers, millwrights, welders, electricians, and automation and robotics specialists.
State support for the project includes a $30 million tax credit from the California Competes program, awarded in 2024; in exchange, Pacific Steel committed to more than $540 million in capital investments and nearly 450 new jobs in the mill's first five years of operation. The California Energy Commission approved up to $14 million for a 32-megawatt-hour long-duration battery to store the mill's solar power, and the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority approved a sales and use tax exclusion worth up to $10 million on the mill's manufacturing equipment.
Pacific Steel is also collaborating with California State University, Bakersfield, the Kern Community College District, and Antelope Valley Community College to establish employment pathways, including a certificate program to prepare students for steel manufacturing careers. The Governor's Office said the California Jobs First program has supported hundreds of early-stage projects across the state's 13 regions, with statewide investments totaling nearly $1.6 billion in 2025.
