AEP Energy, a subsidiary of American Electric Power, and Doral Renewables have signed an additional long-term renewable energy purchase agreement for the 360MW (dc) second phase of the Mammoth solar project in Indiana.
Mammoth Solar 2 is part of the 1.65GW (dc) Mammoth project being developed by Doral in Starke and Pulaski counties in northern Indiana.
This agreement follows the long-term renewable energy purchase agreement previously executed between the parties in April 2021 for the first phase of the Mammoth Solar project which covered 480MW (dc).
Mammoth Solar 2 is expected to begin construction during 2022 and reach commercial operation in 2024.
“AEP Energy is focused on delivering innovative energy solutions and continues to expand our portfolio of renewable energy resources to power possibilities for our customers.
“We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Doral LLC on this project as we build a cleaner, more sustainable energy future together,” said Greg Hall, executive vice president, energy supply, AEP.
“Doral LLC is once again demonstrating its continued effort to become a prominent utility scale developer in the region,” said Yaki Noyman, Doral Renewable Energy Resources Group CEO.
“We are proud to partner again with AEP Energy and continue the development of this monumental project. We are confident that Doral LLC shall secure additional power purchase agreements in the near future to fully commercialise the entire Mammoth project.”
