Mammoth Solar is a 1,600–megawatt (MWDC) solar photovoltaic power project in Pulaski and Starke Counties, Indiana, United States. The plant is being constructed in three phases and will be the largest photovoltaic power stations in the United States and western hemisphere when complete.[1] The first section of 480 MW came online in July 2024.[2] The project is being developed by Doral Renewables, a subsidiary of Israeli company Doral Energy, and is expected to cost US$1.5 billion.[1] It will produce enough electricity to power 250,000 homes.[3]
