Tosyalı has taken another step forward in renewable energy by signing an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen to develop a 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) project. The first phase, with a capacity of 120 MWp, will utilise locally produced N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
A Leading Force in Green Steel and Renewable Energy
With an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes, Tosyalı is a recognised global leader in green steel production. The company remains committed to eco-efficiency, integrating artificial intelligence, advanced technology, and renewable energy into its operations.
Tosyalı has already achieved significant milestones, including 235 MW of rooftop solar capacity, the largest installation of its kind worldwide. Building on this success, the company is now pursuing a 1.2 GW solar power project, with the first 120 MWp phase planned for operation in 2025 and full project completion by 2027.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Chairman Fuat Tosyalı remarked: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Bold Step Towards Sustainability
Speaking at Davos, Fuat Tosyalı elaborated on the project’s vision: “We continue to invest in advanced clean energy technologies under our vision of ‘Tosyalı for a sustainable life.’ As part of this vision, we have taken the first step toward one of the world’s largest self-consumption SPP projects with a capacity of 1,2 GW by initiating the first project in Osmaniye. We are happy to collaborate with GE Vernova, one of the world’s leading companies in this field, and Inogen, Turkey’s leading EPC contractor. We will produce our solar panels in Osmaniye. Starting with the first project, these panels will be deployed across SPP sites in eight provinces. By doing so, we aim to meet approximately 50% of our energy needs from solar energy. This will make us stronger and more independent in energy usage and further strengthen our position among the world’s leading green steel producers.”
Collaboration for Green Innovation
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, shared his enthusiasm for the project: “We are happy to be involved in this pioneering project of Tosyalı, a symbol of green transformation in the world and our country. When all the Tosyalı projects are completed, we will strengthen our position as the green transformation leader in our country working with GE Vernova. In these projects, which will be carried out in 10 different provinces with more than 2000 employees, we plan to go through an efficient and fast installation process and commission all the power plants as soon as possible, with the support of our global partners.”
GE Vernova’s Ed Torres added: “Along with Inogen, we are proud to support Tosyalı’s ambitious goal of developing one of the world’s largest self-consumption solar power projects. By supplying our advanced solar technology, providing design and engineering services, and facilitating ECA financing, we aim to help Tosyalı achieve greater energy independence and accelerate the transition toward a more resilient energy future.”
