Doral Selects IHI Corporation for Operations & Maintenance of Mammoth Solar Project in Indiana
In a significant move for the US solar sector, Doral Renewables has chosen Japan’s IHI Corporation to handle operations and maintenance (O&M) services for several key solar farms in Indiana. The Mammoth South, Mammoth Central 1, and Mammoth Central 2 solar projects will all benefit from the expertise of IHI Power Services Corporation (IPSC), a subsidiary of IHI Corporation. This partnership builds on Doral’s initial decision to bring IPSC on board for asset management of both the Great Bend Solar and Mammoth North Solar projects. Combined, all phases of the Mammoth Solar Project are expected to deliver an impressive 1.3GW of clean energy—solidifying it as one of the largest solar undertakings in the US.
With full construction of the remaining three phases scheduled for the first quarter of 2025, the Mammoth North phase is already set to become operational in the coming weeks. Spanning Starke and Pulaski Counties, the Mammoth Solar project will generate millions in tax revenue and create hundreds of jobs in the local community. This project is a win for both the economy and the environment. What sets Mammoth Solar apart is its innovative approach to agrivoltaics, integrating solar energy with livestock grazing and crop cultivation. This dual-use strategy enables farmers to continue their operations, optimising land use and driving additional revenue while contributing to the nation’s growing clean energy needs. IPSC president and CEO John Keller expressed pride in the continued partnership with Doral, stating, “Doral’s continued trust in IPSC to support their growing number of solar projects showcases the dedication to high-quality service that IPSC provides.” He added that this collaboration demonstrates a shared commitment to supporting local communities and expanding the renewable energy sector. With Doral developing over 13GW of solar and storage projects across the US and locking in $2.5 billion in long-term power purchase agreements, the company is poised to play a pivotal role in the country’s energy transition. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #IndianaSolar #Agrivoltaics #DoralRenewables #IPSC #IHICorporation #MammothSolar #EnergyTransition #SolarJobs #ClimateAction
