NovaSource Power Services ("NovaSource"), the world's largest solar operations and maintenance ("O&M") provider, has partnered with Doral Renewables and been selected as the Operations and Maintenance ("O&M") and Generator Operator ("GO") for the Mammoth Solar Project, one of the largest agrivoltaics facilities in the United States.

Located in Pulaski and Starke Counties, Indiana, the Mammoth Solar Project is a multi-phase initiative set to deliver nearly 1.6GWdc of clean energy. By seamlessly integrating solar power generation with agricultural use, the project supports dual land functionality, advancing both clean energy and sustainable farming practices, allowing local farmers to diversify their revenue stream while maximizing land use. The project's four phases include Mammoth North (480MWdc), completed in Q4 2024, and Mammoth South (360MWdc), Mammoth Central I (360MWdc), and Mammoth Central II (360MWdc), all expected to achieve commercial operation in 2026.

Leveraging its extensive industry expertise and a proven track record of managing over 30GW of solar assets worldwide, NovaSource will ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and compliance for this landmark project.

"Mammoth Solar Project represents a groundbreaking approach to agrivoltaics, and we are proud to collaborate with Doral Renewables on a project that sets new industry benchmarks for scale, sustainability, and innovation," stated Irfan Bharde, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at NovaSource Power Services. "Our team is committed to delivering the highest standards of service, ensuring the project operates at its full potential and meeting all regulatory and operational requirements."

The Mammoth Solar Project is a game-changer in the shift to renewable energy, and NovaSource is excited to be part of its success. The company brings its expertise to the table by providing O&M services, managing GOP, supporting GO, and overall NERC compliance to streamline grid integration. NovaSource will be also utilizing data-driven asset management solutions to maximize energy output and optimize performance through advanced monitoring and analytics.

"We are thrilled to partner with NovaSource Power Services to bring the Mammoth Solar Project to life," said Chris Hinton, Vice President of Asset Management at Doral Renewables. "Mammoth Solar's commitment to farming families, dual-use practices and the local communities will allow farmers to produce food and crop alongside the solar panels, maximizing their land and profitability. The majority of these efforts will occur during the operation phase of the project and require an O&M partner with both professional experience and a similar community-oriented approach. NovaSource's proven track record and credentials makes them the perfect partner to back up our commitments".
