Tosyalı has signed an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen to develop one of the largest self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) projects globally, with a capacity of 1.2 GW. The first 120 MWp phase will utilise locally produced N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
Leading the Way in Green Steel and Clean Energy
Tosyalı, a global leader in green steel with an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes, is committed to integrating sustainability into its operations. The company leverages cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy to advance eco-efficiency.
Previously, Tosyalı set a global milestone with 235 MW of rooftop solar power capacity, the largest in the world. Now, it aims to exceed that achievement with this ambitious 1.2 GW solar project, expected to be completed in three stages. The first 120 MWp phase is set to become operational in 2025, with the full project reaching 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.”
Transforming Energy Independence
During his Davos speech, Fuat Tosyalı outlined 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 Change
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, emphasised the importance of the partnership: “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, Business Leader 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.”
