Tosyalı has strengthened its commitment to renewable energy by signing an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen for the first phase of one of the largest self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) projects globally. The initial stage will have a capacity of 120 MWp, while the overall project aims to reach 1.2 GW. The plant will utilise Tosyalı’s locally manufactured N-Type Topcon 725 Wp solar panels, produced under the Tosyalı V-Solar brand.
Davos Announcement: A Major Leap in Green Steel and Renewable Energy
Tosyalı, a leading global green steel producer with an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes, is taking its renewable energy investments to the next level. Known for its focus on eco-efficiency, cutting-edge technology, and artificial intelligence, Tosyalı continues to prioritise clean and sustainable energy solutions.
Having already achieved global recognition with 235 MW of installed capacity in rooftop solar power systems across its facilities, Tosyalı is now embarking on a larger-scale endeavour. The company has partnered with GE Vernova and its regional provider, Inogen, for the initial 120 MWp phase of a massive 1.2 GW self-consumption solar power project. The first installation is expected to be operational by 2025, with the full project scheduled for completion by 2027.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Fuat Tosyalı, Chairman of Tosyalı Holding, shared the company’s vision: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
A Pioneering Vision for Sustainability
During his speech at Davos 2025, Fuat Tosyalı emphasised the importance of clean energy in industrial production: “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.”
This ambitious project is one of the largest self-consumption-focused SPPs globally, setting a benchmark for Turkey and beyond. Construction has already commenced in Osmaniye for the initial 120 MWp phase, with the overall 1.2 GW project to be executed in three stages.
Collaborative Efforts Driving Innovation
Ali Murat Soydan, Chairman of Inogen Group, praised the project’s significance: “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 for 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.”
