Tosyalı has announced a major renewable energy milestone, partnering with GE Vernova and Inogen to launch a 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) project. The first phase, featuring a capacity of 120 MWp, will use N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels manufactured under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
Sustainability in Green Steel Production
With a production capacity of 15 million tonnes of crude steel annually, Tosyalı is a leader in green steel. The company integrates renewable energy and advanced technology to reduce its environmental impact and enhance eco-efficiency.
Building on its 235 MW rooftop solar capacity—the largest globally—Tosyalı is embarking on this 1.2 GW project to further reduce its dependence on external energy sources. The first phase will begin operation in 2025, with the entire project set for completion by 2027.
Chairman Fuat Tosyalı shared his excitement: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Collaborative Path Forward
At Davos, Fuat Tosyalı explained the 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.”
Strategic Partnerships Driving Progress
Inogen Chairman Ali Murat Soydan noted: “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.”
