CARROLL COUNTY, Ark. — Scout Clean Energy of Boulder, Colorado, is finalizing its development plans before starting construction on its $300 million Nimbus Wind Farm in Carroll County in northwest Arkansas as early as by the end of the year.
The company said it has signed agreements with about 50 landowners along 9,500 acres off County Road 905 south of Green Forest in eastern Carroll County. The Nimbus Wind Farm is expected to produce 180 megawatts of electricity, enough to power nearly 30,000 homes.
Scout said the wind farm is one of more than 50 wind and solar projects the company has in production or in development across 24 states; the Nimbus project has been in the works since 2016. Arkansas does not currently have a producing wind farm although several are in planning.
