Tosyalı Holding, a leader in green steel production, has signed an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen to begin a pioneering self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) project. The project will feature a total capacity of 1.2 GW, with the first phase comprising 120 MWp. Tosyalı’s solar panels, produced locally under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand, will play a central role in this initiative.
Advancing Green Steel with Renewable Energy
Tosyalı, which produces 15 million tonnes of crude steel annually, has long been committed to eco-efficient operations. The company leverages renewable energy and cutting-edge technology to minimise its environmental footprint.
With a successful track record that includes the world’s largest rooftop solar power installation (235 MW), Tosyalı is now focusing on scaling its renewable energy capabilities. The new 1.2 GW project, developed in collaboration with GE Vernova and Inogen, is expected to deliver its first 120 MWp by 2025. Full completion is anticipated in 2027.
At Davos 2025, Fuat Tosyalı, Chairman of Tosyalı Holding, revealed the project’s vision: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
Setting New Standards in Renewable Energy
Fuat Tosyalı discussed the strategic importance of the project at the World Economic Forum: “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.”
Collaboration for Success
Inogen Chairman Ali Murat Soydan spoke of the significance of this undertaking: “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.”
