IHI Power Services Corp. (IPSC), a leading provider of O&M, asset management, remote operations, and compliance services to power generation and other energy industries across the U.S., has been tapped by Doral Renewables LLC (Doral) to provide asset management services for two major renewable projects—Mammoth North Solar Project, a 400 MW generation facility located in Starke County, Ind. and Great Bend Solar Project, a 48 MW plant in Meigs County, Ohio.
The Mammoth North Solar Project, scheduled for commercial operation in Q3 2024, is the first phase of Doral’s Mammoth Solar Project. When completed, the Mammoth Solar Project will generate a staggering 1.3 GW of power—enough clean energy to support approximately 275,000 homes. One of the largest solar developments in the country, this $1.5 billion project is segmented into four phases: Mammoth North Solar, followed by Mammoth South Solar and Mammoth Central Solar I & II, which are expected to enter full construction in Q1 of 2025.
Doral’s Great Bend Solar Project will also break ground this year and is expected to be online by the end of 2025, bringing an additional $400,000 in annual tax revenues, ample new job creation and economic growth to support local businesses and the Meigs County community as a whole.
