Tosyalı has signed an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen to develop a landmark 1.2 GW self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP). The first phase, comprising 120 MWp, will use locally produced N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
Leadership in Renewable Energy and Green Steel
As a global leader in green steel, Tosyalı produces 15 million tonnes of crude steel annually and continues to lead the industry in renewable energy integration. Its focus on sustainability includes leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced technology to minimise its environmental footprint.
Following its achievement of 235 MW in rooftop solar capacity, the largest in the world, Tosyalı now embarks on this ambitious 1.2 GW SPP project. The first phase is scheduled to become operational in 2025, with full completion by 2027.
Chairman Fuat Tosyalı stated: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
Aiming for Energy Independence
At Davos, Fuat Tosyalı explained: “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
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, commented: “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, 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.”
