Doral Renewables has greenlit Bechtel to build three phases of the 1.3-gigawatt Mammoth Solar project in Indiana, adding 900 megawatts and two million PV modules, while creating 1,200 construction jobs, pioneering agrivoltaics, and boosting Indiana’s solar capacity by over 20 percent.
Work has stepped up at the 1.3-gigawatt Mammoth Solar complex in Indiana. Doral Renewables has issued Full Notice to Proceed to engineering and construction partner Bechtel, clearing the way for permanent works on three segments – Mammoth South, Mammoth Central I, and Mammoth Central II. Together, they account for 900 megawatts of the project’s capacity and are set to raise Indiana’s installed solar base by more than 20 percent.
Bechtel’s scope covers design, procurement, and construction across the three phases. About two million photovoltaic modules – half manufactured in the United States – will be mounted over the next two years, supported by new cabling, substations, and site infrastructure. The company plans to apply its digital delivery workflows and autonomous equipment to keep work on schedule and contain costs…
