Turkish iron and steel producer Icdas plans to invest $2.5 billion in energy in a move to increase its capacity, Turkish daily Hurriyet reports Wednesday, while the company expects global steel demand to pick up starting in September.

Icdas is about to inaugurate a 1,200-megawatt thermal power plant, which will increase the company's electricity production capacity to 1,605 megawatts.
