Tosyalı Holding has taken a bold step in renewable energy by initiating one of the world’s largest self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) projects. Partnering with GE Vernova and Inogen, the first phase will deliver 120 MWp of capacity, with the full project aiming to achieve 1.2 GW by 2027. Tosyalı’s locally manufactured N-Type Topcon 725 Wp solar panels will be deployed under its Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
A Global Leader in Sustainable Steel Production
With an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes, Tosyalı is a major global producer of green steel. The company has a long-standing commitment to sustainability, integrating renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and cutting-edge technologies to enhance eco-efficiency.
Having already achieved the world’s largest rooftop solar installation with 235 MW of capacity, Tosyalı now aims to surpass its own benchmark with this groundbreaking SPP project. The first phase is expected to become operational by 2025, with the entire project completed by 2027.
At the World Economic Forum 2025 in Davos, Chairman Fuat Tosyalı declared: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Vision for Energy Independence
During his remarks at Davos, Fuat Tosyalı provided insight into the company’s strategy: “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 Collaboration in Renewable Energy
Inogen Chairman Ali Murat Soydan shared his perspective on the partnership: “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, commented on the company’s involvement: “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.”
