Officials with Pennsylvania-based Doral Renewables on Tuesday will celebrate the completion of the first phase of the $1.5 billion Mammoth Solar project in northwest Indiana.
Known as Mammoth North Solar, the 400-megawatt solar farm in Starke County is expected to generate enough electricity to power 75,000 homes annually.
Doral Renewables broke ground on the project’s first phase in October 2021. The company partnered with SOLV Energy in California to develop the project.
Tuesday’s event will celebrate Mammoth North Solar officially connecting to the grid. It will feature remarks from Doral and SOLV Energy officials, as well as representatives from the American Clean Power Association, community leaders and others.
The overall Mammoth Solar project is being developed over three phases. The second phase is currently under construction, and a timeline for the third phase has not yet been announced. Both the second and third phases are being developed in Pulaski County.
Doral says the 1.3-gigawatt project will create about a dozen full-time jobs, post-construction, and ultimately generate enough clean energy to power 175,000 homes in Indiana and Illinois, making it the largest solar project in Indiana.
Ohio-based AEP Energy has already inked power purchase agreements for the first and second phases of the project.
We’ll have more on the completion of Mammoth North Solar, including comments from Doral Renewables CEO Nick Cohen, in Tuesday’s INside Edge Midday Report newsletter.
