Tosyalı has announced plans for a 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP), partnering with GE Vernova and Inogen to develop the project. The first phase, consisting of 120 MWp, will feature solar panels manufactured locally under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand, using N-Type Topcon 725 Wp technology.
Commitment to Renewable Energy and Green Steel
Tosyalı is a global leader in green steel, producing 15 million tonnes of crude steel annually. The company is focused on sustainability, combining advanced technology and renewable energy to support eco-efficient operations.
Already recognised for its 235 MW rooftop solar installation—the largest in the world—Tosyalı is now launching a project of even greater scale. The first 120 MWp phase is expected to be operational by 2025, while the entire 1.2 GW project will be completed by 2027.
Chairman Fuat Tosyalı commented: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Vision of Sustainability and Independence
Speaking at Davos 2025, Fuat Tosyalı outlined the importance of this initiative: “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 Efforts to Drive Change
Inogen Group Chairman Ali Murat Soydan praised the project’s vision: “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, of GE Vernova, highlighted the global impact: “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.”
