Congratulations, Energya: first EPD is live
Specs move faster when claims turn into verified numbers. Energya just crossed that line with its debut Environmental Product Declaration, putting real data behind galvanized steel components that show up across towers, masts, and structural packages. That single step means fewer workarounds in submittals and a clearer path into shortlists when project teams ask for product‑specific EPDs.
What just launched
Energya has published its first‑ever Environmental Product Declaration in January 2026. The declaration covers hot‑dip galvanized steel components produced by Energya Steel Fabrication Co, reading like a product‑family scope rather than a single SKU. It is verified and published with the program operator EPD Hub, and it references the PCR category for corrosion protection of fabricated steel products. Validity runs through January 2031.
Why this matters in their market
Energya builds and finishes steel structures for power, telecom, lighting, and industrial projects. Those buyers increasingly want product‑specific EPDs so whole‑building tools do not default to conservative generics that quietly penalize products without declarations. With this move, Energya enters the transparency arena and keeps the conversation on performance, delivery, and price instead of assumptions.
The competitive read
Closest peers to watch in galvanized steel have already planted flags with product EPDs. Here is how Energya now lines up.
- ZINQ publishes product‑specific EPDs for hot‑dip galvanized steel under IBU, which positions them well in European tenders. Coverage is comparable in spirit to Energya’s portfolio‑style entry.
- Valmont Polska lists an EPD for steel structures and components under ITB, which speaks to similar end uses like poles and masts. Energya’s new EPD narrows that gap on spec readiness.
- Kingfield Galvanizing carries several EPDs for galvanized plate and sections through EPD Australasia and EPD International. These are region‑tuned, yet they set a bar for scope detail that specifers will compare against.
Taken together, Energya is no longer on the outside looking in. In categories where peers already disclose, they have caught up. Where some regional fabricators still lack EPDs, Energya gains a clean edge on submittals.

Program operator note
The declaration sits with EPD Hub, a digital‑first operator recognized by ECO Platform as an Established ECO EPD Programme Operator as of December 2025, which supports acceptance and discovery in the ECO Portal. Teams should still match operator choice to target markets, but this placement checks the verification box for typical EN 15804 expectations.
Who did the LCA work
The public record for this EPD does not name a separate developer or consultant organization. That is common when the operator’s workflow allows different modeling routes. If Energya plans a second wave, disclosing the LCA partner can help procurement teams assess continuity across updates.
Where to find it on their site
We could not locate the EPD PDF on energya.com as of February 4, 2026. Visibility matters because spec teams often pull files straight from manufacturer pages. Adding an EPD section to the Steel Fabrication and Galvanization area would reduce hunting and shorten bid cycles.
What to watch next
Two practical plays can compound the win. First, extend coverage to adjacent fabricated families that share upstream steel and the same galvanizing line, since that keeps modeling efficient and broadens spec reach. Second, prepare a renewal roadmap so this first declaration anchors a predictable cadence rather than a one‑off.
The takeaway for bids
Energya has moved from datasheet claims to third‑party‑verified impacts in a category where numbers travel with the drawings. That resets competitive math on many infrastructure and industrial packages. It also gives sales and estimating teams a simple yes when the EPD question pops up mid‑tender, which is often the difference between a quick green light and a slow maybe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What product scope does Energya’s first EPD cover?
Hot‑dip galvanized steel components from Energya Steel Fabrication Co. The document reads as a product‑family scope rather than a single SKU, aligned to the PCR for corrosion protection of fabricated steel products.
Which program operator issued Energya’s first EPD?
EPD Hub verified and published the declaration. See our operator overview for context on recognition and workflow.
Do key competitors already have galvanized steel EPDs?
Yes. Examples include ZINQ under IBU, Valmont Polska under ITB, and Kingfield Galvanizing under EPD Australasia and EPD International. Energya’s new EPD closes the gap on spec readiness.
Where can spec teams find Energya’s EPD today?
As of February 4, 2026, we did not find the PDF on energya.com. Publishing it on a visible sustainability or resources page is recommended for faster submittals.
