Tosyalı has signed an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen to launch one of the largest self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) projects globally. The first phase, totalling 120 MWp, will feature locally produced N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels under Tosyalı’s V-Solar brand, with the full project set to achieve a 1.2 GW capacity.
Leading the Way in Renewable Energy and Green Steel
As one of the foremost green steel producers worldwide, Tosyalı operates with an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes. Its approach to eco-efficiency is driven by investments in cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy sources.
Tosyalı previously achieved a landmark with its 235 MW rooftop solar installation, the largest in the world. Building on this success, the company is now focusing on the 1.2 GW SPP project. The first phase is planned to go live in 2025, with the full project expected to be completed by 2027.
At Davos 2025, Chairman Fuat Tosyalı highlighted the project’s importance: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
Sustainable Energy to Transform Industry
Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Fuat Tosyalı elaborated on 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.”
A Partnership for Global Change
Inogen Chairman Ali Murat Soydan remarked: “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 for GE Vernova, shared his perspective: “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.”
