Tosyalı Goes Green With 1.2 GW Solar Surge
01/30/2025 - Turkish steelmaker Tosyalı has announced plans to invest almost US$1 billion to install 1.2 GW in solar power capacity for self-consumption across their steel mill sites.
According to a press release, agreements for the first phase were signed with GE Vernova and engineering, procurement and construction contractor Inogen. Construction for the first 120 MW project has already begun and is set to be operational this year. It will use N-Type Topcon 725Wp panels produced under the Tosyalı V-Solar Brand in Osmaniye and be deployed across eight provinces.
The full 1.2 GW solar project is planned to be implemented in three phases.
According to Ali Murat Soydan, chairman of Inogen Group, the following projects will be carried out in 10 provinces with more than 2,000 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,” Soydan said.
“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,” said Fuat Tosyalı, chairman of Tosyalı Holding.
The full 1.2 GW capacity project is expected for completion in 2027.
