Tosyalı has entered into an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen to develop a 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP), one of the largest projects of its kind in the world. The first phase, with a capacity of 120 MWp, will utilise solar panels produced locally under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
Pioneering Green Steel and Renewable Energy
As a prominent global producer of green steel, Tosyalı is committed to sustainable practices, combining artificial intelligence, advanced technologies, and renewable energy to achieve eco-efficiency. With an annual crude steel capacity of 15 million tonnes, Tosyalı has already achieved significant milestones in renewable energy, including the world’s largest rooftop solar installation, with 235 MW of capacity.
Now, Tosyalı is taking its renewable efforts further by initiating a 1.2 GW solar power project, to be rolled out in three stages. The first 120 MWp phase is scheduled to become operational in 2025, while the full project will be completed by 2027.
Chairman Fuat Tosyalı announced at Davos: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Vision for Clean Energy Independence
Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Fuat Tosyalı outlined the company’s commitment to clean energy: “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 Driving Progress
Inogen Group Chairman Ali Murat Soydan expressed excitement about the collaboration: “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 also praised Tosyalı’s ambition: “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.”
