IHI Power Services Corp. (IPSC), a provider of asset management, O&M, remote operations and compliance services, has been selected by Doral Renewables to provide asset management services for three major utility-scale solar projects based in Starke County, Indiana: Mammoth South Solar, Mammoth Central I Solar and Mammoth Central II Solar.
This award comes after Doral’s initial selection of IPSC to provide asset management services for the Great Bend Solar project and Mammoth North Solar project, the first phase of the Mammoth Solar project. With all four parts combined, the Mammoth Solar Project is expected to generate 1.3 GW of energy. Full construction on the remaining three phases is expected to begin in Q1 of 2025, while the first phase is set to become operational in the upcoming weeks. The Mammoth Solar project will spread across Starke and Pulaski Counties in Indiana and will generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for the counties while creating hundreds of jobs.
Mammoth Solar is also at the center of Doral Renewables’ agrivoltaics initiatives — which include integrating on-site livestock grazing and crop cultivation — allowing local farmers to continue their operations, maximizing land use and generating additional value. In recognition of these efforts, the Mammoth Solar project was named the Dual Use Plan of the Year at the inaugural North American Agrivoltaics Awards in July. At the same time, the State of Indiana presented a proclamation declaring July 9th as Agrivoltaics Day forever in Indiana.
“Doral’s continued trust in IPSC to support their growing number of solar projects showcases the dedication to high-quality service that IPSC provides,” said John R. Keller, President & CEO of IPSC. “We feel privileged to bring our expertise to Doral’s table, aligning with their vision for the project, and supporting the local communities of Indiana. This continued partnership underscores our commitment to growing with the renewable energy sector.”
