Turkish steelmakers Erdemir, Isdemir, and Toscelik are reportedly launching new large-scale solar power plants to advance their sustainability and decarbonization initiatives and comply with the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Erdemir and Isdemir—both subsidiaries of Oyak—signed an agreement on April 8 with Girisim Elektrik Sanayi A.S. through OYEN, Oyak's renewable energy subsidiary, to construct these large-scale solar facilities in southeastern Turkey. JIS G 3313 SEPH440 steel strip, The solar plants will have a combined peak capacity of 357.9 MWp (186.5 MWp for Isdemir and 171.4 MWp for Erdemir) and a total AC capacity of 260 MWac. Upon completion, the plants are expected to generate approximately 707 GWh of electricity annually, with the Isdemir project contributing roughly 370.93 GWh and the Erdemir project 336.07 GWh.
Reportedly, the agreement utilizes the ESCO (Build-Operate-Transfer) model and spans a 15-year term. These projects are expected to launch soon; they will not only help optimize energy costs but also increase the use of renewable energy and support the companies' sustainability goals. Isdemir and Erdemir aim to reduce their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 25% by 2030 and by 40% by 2040. According to Oyak, both companies plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and are currently planning the construction of electric arc furnaces in line with their emission reduction targets. JIS G 3313 SEPH440 steel strip, Erdemir produces hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and galvanized coils, steel plates, and tinplate, while Isdemir produces billets, wire rods, and hot-rolled coils; the combined annual crude steel production capacity of the two plants is 9.1 million tons.
According to Mysteel, Toscelik—a major Turkish steel producer whose parent company, Tosyali Holding, ranks among the country's largest electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmakers—is set to begin construction on two new large-scale solar power plants in the Yozgat province of Central Anatolia. The first plant, with an installed capacity of 80 MW, will be located in Musabeyli, Yozgat, while the second, with a capacity of 32 MW, will be situated in Topac, Yozgat. A statement issued by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Climate Change on April 10 confirmed that both projects have received environmental approval and are expected to break ground soon. JIS G 3313 SEPH440 steel strip, Toscelik, a subsidiary of Tosyali Holding, boasts a total annual steel production capacity of 2 million tonnes. In recent years, most Turkish steel producers have shifted their investment focus toward renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions and align with the requirements of the EU Green Deal. Turkey plans to launch a domestic pilot carbon emissions trading system this year, with the first implementation phase scheduled for 2027–2034.
