Tosyalı Holding has launched one of the world’s largest self-consumption Solar Power Plant (SPP) initiatives, signing an agreement with GE Vernova and Inogen. The first phase will involve a 120 MWp installation, part of a project that will eventually reach a capacity of 1.2 GW, utilising Tosyalı’s N-Type Topcon 725 Wp panels.
Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
With an annual crude steel production capacity of 15 million tonnes, Tosyalı is a global leader in green steel. The company focuses on sustainable practices, combining advanced technology and renewable energy to drive eco-efficient production.
Tosyalı has already achieved significant milestones, including the world’s largest rooftop solar installation, with 235 MW of capacity across its facilities. This new 1.2 GW project represents a significant step forward, with the first phase set for 2025 and the entire project to be completed by 2027.
Chairman Fuat Tosyalı stated: “With this investment, Tosyalı will generate approximately 50% of its self-consumption from solar energy.”
Driving Sustainability in Industry
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Fuat Tosyalı explained the broader vision: “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 Energy Solutions
Inogen Group Chairman Ali Murat Soydan 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.”
GE Vernova’s Ed Torres also voiced support: “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.”
