| Work Detail |
Doral Renewables LLC has announced the financial close of $1.5 billion in project financing to advance construction of three major photovoltaic power plants—Mammoth South, Mammoth Central I, and Mammoth Central II—located in Pulaski County, Indiana. Each plant will have a generation capacity of 300 megawatts (MWac), representing a combined 900 MWac of the 1.3 gigawatt (GWac) Mammoth Solar project Indiana. Once fully operational, the facilities are expected to supply clean electricity to approximately 275,000 households annually, boosting Indiana’s total solar capacity by over 20%. Engineering and construction firm Bechtel has also announced that they have been selected by Doral Renewables to deliver the three core phases of the Mammoth Solar project Indiana. Following early preparatory works, Bechtel has now received Full Notice to Proceed (FNTP), allowing it to begin full-scale construction including panel installation, cable laying, and substation development. The Mammoth Solar project Indiana is one of the largest of its kind in the United States and is seen as a critical contributor to the nation’s clean energy transition. Phase 1: Operational The initial phase of the Mammoth Solar project Indiana is already complete and operational. Doral Renewables began this effort in 2019 as a grassroots initiative among local farmers. Today, over 65 families lease their land to support the solar project. Upon decommissioning, the land will revert to the original owners. Phase 2: Mammoth South Under Construction Mammoth South, the second phase, is now under construction in Pulaski County. The 300 MW facility is expected to produce enough clean electricity to power approximately 65,000 households. A long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the generated electricity has been executed with AEP Energy, a subsidiary of American Electric Power. The Mammoth South project officially launched in November 2022, marked by a ceremony that brought together local stakeholders, community members, and dignitaries from Indiana and Israel. |
