(Philadelphia, PA) - Former Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has transitioned to the public sector by taking a position with a nationawide renewable energy company.

 

In a press release issued last week, Doral Renewables LLC announced that Holcomb has joined their board of directors. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Doral Renewables develops and operates utility scale renewable energy projects, particularly in the field of solar energy. Their 1.3 GW Mammoth Solar development spans 13,000 acres in Starke and Pulaski counties.

 

"Governor Holcomb brings decades of exceptional experience in policymaking and economic development. His vision and leadership have resulted in record-breaking investments in Indiana," stated Nick Cohen, President and CEO of Doral Renewables. "His innovative mindset aligns with our farmer community, especially as we continue to enhance our agrivoltaics deployment efforts, benefiting both the national grid by diversifying energy resources and cost reduction as well as local farmers by maximizing land use and creating additional revenue streams."

 

"I couldn't be more excited to join the relationship-centric team at Doral Renewables", said Holcomb. "Doral's world-class vision and mission are both critically important to meet the communities' needs and provide them with economic opportunities and increased energy demand we are going to experience in the upcoming years. I look forward to strategically assisting Doral as the months and years unfold."

 

Holcomb recently completed his eight-year term as Indiana’s 51st Governor, during which the state saw record-breaking investments and job creation, along with a proliferation of solar energy projects.
