Bechtel has been selected by Doral Renewables to design and build the Cold Creek Solar + Storage project in Schleicher and Tom Green counties, Texas. The two companies are also collaborating on the final phases of the 1.3-GW Mammoth Solar project in Indiana.
The Cold Creek project will generated 430 MW of solar and feature a 340-MWh energy storage system.
“The Cold Creek project is a major milestone for our company’s growth,” said Jason Van Deusen, Doral Renewables VP of Project Management. “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Bechtel. The strong relationship forged between the two organizations through collaboration, transparency and shared values of community engagement, local workforce participation, safety, quality, and environmental stewardship has set the stage for continued success.”
Bechtel will provide EPC services for the solar and storage facilities across the two counties, which will deliver power to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas grid. At peak construction, the Cold Creek project is expected to create more than 500 jobs, offering training opportunities and stimulating economic activity that will benefit the regional economy and surrounding communities. Engineering is already underway, with commercial operations expected to begin in 2028.
