Tosyalı Holding has partnered with GE Vernova and Inogen to launch a pioneering self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) project. The initiative aims to achieve a total capacity of 1.2 GW, with the first phase of 120 MWp employing locally manufactured N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
Sustainability in Steel Production
Tosyalı, a global leader in green steel, produces 15 million tonnes of crude steel annually. Committed to eco-efficient practices, the company integrates renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and advanced technology to achieve its sustainability goals.
Having already established the world’s largest rooftop solar power installation, with 235 MW of capacity, Tosyalı is now scaling its renewable energy ambitions. The 1.2 GW project, expected to be completed in three stages by 2027, will begin with the first phase in 2025.
Chairman Fuat Tosyalı shared the company’s renewable energy goals: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
Clean Energy for a Sustainable Future
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Fuat Tosyalı outlined the project’s significance: “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 for Energy Transformation
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, emphasised the project’s importance: “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, remarked: “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.”
