A proposed $300 million private industrial wind power plant named Nimbus, the first like it in Arkansas, is under development across 9,500 acres of mountain ridges in southeastern Carroll County. Colorado-based Scout Clean Energy plans to erect 46 giant turbines—among the tallest in the nation—on privately leased land to capture 180MW of high-altitude wind power to sell out of state. A majority of county officials welcome the new industry, but thousands of county residents do not.

The "Nimbus" wind-power project, planned for construction across a large swath of private land in eastern Carroll County, if built, will be the largest in Arkansas.

Scout Clean Energy, headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, has secured a sufficient number of private property easements along a rugged mountain ridge in eastern Carroll County to build a 180MW wind energy facility called the Nimbus Project. Quietly under development for well over six years, the $300-million-dollar industrial wind array will include more than forty 500-foot tall towers affixed with massive triple-blade turbines. But as more county residents catch wind of the unconventional-sited wind-power plant, opposition is circulating.
