Scout Clean Energy ("Scout"), a leading North American renewable energy developer-owner-operator, held a blade signing event yesterday at the Nimbus Wind Farm ("Nimbus") in Green Forest, Arkansas, joining project stakeholders to celebrate the project's successful progress as construction continues. Joining Scout staff at the event were construction and financing partners, community members and officials, as well as many of the 50+ landowners participating in the project.
Scout began development of the 180 MW Nimbus project, located in Northwest Arkansas' Carroll County, in 2016. Construction is expected to finish early next year, after which the project will begin commercial operations and start generating enough electricity to power more than 40,000 homes annually.
"Nimbus is nearing completion after a decade of hard work by our team and the support of our incredible landowners, stakeholders, site workers, and the community that is making the project a reality," said Michael Rucker, Founder and CEO of Scout Clean Energy. "The blade signing honors that work and allows us to pause to memorialize their contributions by signing a turbine blade that will fly above the project."
Joining construction officials from Scout were representatives from MasTec, the general contractor for Nimbus. Construction commenced for the project in late 2024.
"From unpredictable weather to rugged terrain, the path to completion has demanded innovation, perseverance, and teamwork," said Brendon Lamppa, VP of Wind Construction at MasTec Renewables. "Seeing the hard work of so many skilled individuals and community partners come to fruition through those challenges is the ultimate reward. The Nimbus Wind Farm will stand as a lasting source of renewable energy and economic value for Carroll County and the surrounding region for years to come."
Electricity generated by the project will enter the Midcontinent Independent System Operator's (MISO's) grid at the Dry Creek Substation in Green Forest.
