Overview
International law firm McDermott Will & Emery represented Doral Renewables in the closing of its construction project financing for the Mammoth North project, a 400MW Solar project located in Starke County, Indiana.
The Mammoth North project is the first phase of Doral’s Mammoth Solar project. It is also developing the nearby Mammoth Central and Mammoth South projects which, together with Mammoth North, will bring 1.3GW of capacity to market as the largest integrated photovoltaic solar electricity generating facility in the U.S.

The financing included a significant tax equity investment, with Joel Hugenberger and Heather Cooper leading McDermott’s tax team with assistance from Seth Doughty and André Smith.
