AEP Energy and Global Energy Generation (Doral) have signed a long-term renewable energy purchase agreement for the Mammoth solar project in Indiana.
Mammoth Solar 1, a 480-megawatt direct current solar energy project, is the first phase of the 1.65-gigawatt direct current Mammoth project being developed by Doral. The Mammoth solar project covers more than 12,000 acres in Starke and Pulaski counties in northern Indiana.
Mammoth Solar 1 is expected to begin construction during the fourth quarter of 2021 and reach commercial operation by the second quarter of 2023.
“This is one of the largest solar power purchase agreements in the PJM market,” said Nick Cohen, president and CEO of Doral. “Mammoth 1 will displace 40,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions and save 1 billion gallons of irrigation well water annually.”
