US’ 1.3GW solar farm to power 200,000 homes, boost clean energy capacity by 20%
The Mammoth Solar farm in northern Indiana is all set to become one of USA’s largest solar power projects and is expected to create over 1,200 jobs.
A 1.3 gigawatt (GW) solar farm in northern Indiana is all set to become one of USA’s largest solar power projects following an agreement between Philadelphia-based renewable energy operator Doral Renewables and Virginia-headquartered engineering firm Bechtel.
Construction on Indiana’s Mammoth Solar project ramped up this month after Doral Renewables issued a Full Notice to Proceed (FNTP) to Bechtel in a bid to boost total solar capacity in Indiana by more than 20%. Bechtel will design, engineer, and build Mammoth South, Mammoth Central I, and Mammoth Central II—three segments that together will deliver 900 megawatts AC of clean energy capacity, enough to power 200,000 homes.
