Indiana Plans 1.3 GW Solar Facility

Bechtel has been selected by Doral Renewables (Doral) to deliver three key phases of its 1.3 GW Mammoth Solar facility in Indiana. Bechtel will design, engineer, and construct Mammoth South, Mammoth Central I, and Mammoth Central II, which together represent 900 MW of energy capacity.

Bechtel is leading the project’s design and delivery, overseeing all aspects of engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and project management. Over the next two years, the three upcoming phases will include the installation of approximately two million solar modules, one million of which will be US-made.

When complete in 2027, Doral Renewables will implement agrivoltaics initiatives across the site which includes integrating on-site livestock grazing and crop cultivation around the panels. This dual-use technique enables local landowners to continue farming operations and maximize land use.

Doral is a Philadelphia-based developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy assets throughout the United States. Its solar and storage development portfolio comprises nearly 18 GW, which includes 400 MW currently in operation and 950 MW under construction. Doral operates in 22 states and across seven electricity markets.
