Yesbut...this process produces iron, not steel. Iron, obviously the main component of steel, is fairly useless unless and until it is converted to steel. It has nothing like the strength of steel. The process, or I should say, the several processes for converting iron to steel, requires the steel to be brought to above its melting point and blasting oxygen through it. Naturally this could be done with wind generators/s.
Converting iron to steel also involves the introduction of various other metals, manganese, chromium, nickel, etc; to create alloys with various desirable characteristics. For this to occur, the metals have to be liquified.
So even though iron could be produced electrolytically, steel can not, not to mention all the alloys that make life itself© possible.

And Carbon. First and foremost Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon.
