Tosyalı has announced its latest renewable energy venture, a 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) project. In collaboration with GE Vernova and Inogen, the first phase of 120 MWp will utilise solar panels produced under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand, employing advanced N-Type Topcon 725 Wp technology.
Advancing Sustainability in Green Steel
As one of the world’s leading green steel producers, Tosyalı produces 15 million tonnes of crude steel annually. The company continues to integrate sustainability into its operations, embracing cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy.
Following its previous achievement of 235 MW of rooftop solar capacity—the largest installation worldwide—Tosyalı is embarking on a larger endeavour. The 1.2 GW SPP project, to be completed in three stages, will see the first phase operational by 2025, with the entire project finalised by 2027.
At Davos 2025, Fuat Tosyalı, Chairman of Tosyalı Holding, remarked: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Clear Vision for Energy Independence
During the World Economic Forum, Fuat Tosyalı outlined the company’s strategy: “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.”
Partnerships Powering Change
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, praised the collaborative effort: “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.”
Ed Torres, of GE Vernova, 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.”
