Abstract: An annealing facility in which a steel sheet after cold rolling is sequentially threaded through an annealing furnace having at least a first region, a second region, and a third region to continuously undergo finish annealing. Each of the regions of the annealing furnace is independently controllable in terms of the gas composition and the dew point of the atmosphere. The second region is composed of a heating zone, a soaking zone, and a cooling zone all having atmospheric temperatures of 900° C. or higher, with an atmospheric gas controlled to have a nitrogen content of 30 vol % or less and a dew point of −40° C. or lower. Further, an electrical steel sheet, preferably a non-oriented electrical steel sheet with low iron loss is produced by performing finish annealing using this annealing facility.
