Tosyalı has taken another step towards renewable energy by signing an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen for the first phase of a 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) project. The first phase, totalling 120 MWp, will utilise locally produced N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
A Global Leader in Green Steel Embraces Renewable Energy
With an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes, Tosyalı is renowned as a leader in green steel production. The company’s sustainability strategy incorporates advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy to achieve eco-efficient operations.
Tosyalı’s previous milestone—235 MW of rooftop solar power capacity, the largest installation globally—has positioned the company as a trailblazer in industrial renewable energy solutions. The new 1.2 GW project, to be completed in three phases, will build on this legacy. The first phase is expected to become operational in 2025, with full completion targeted for 2027.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Chairman Fuat Tosyalı said: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Strategic Step for a Sustainable Future
At Davos 2025, Fuat Tosyalı expanded on 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.”
Collaborative Leadership in Green Transformation
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, shared his thoughts on the initiative: “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’s Power Conversion & Storage division, 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.”
