Each wind turbine sits on approximately one-quarter of an acre. Furthermore, the wind power project features a land lease agreement that was signed with a local cattle rancher who continues to graze livestock right up to the base of the machines. The rancher supplements his current income with long-term annual land lease payments.
The turbine manufacturer and installer, NEG Micon, strives to ease its footprint on the environment by using as little land as possible and encouraging multi-use of the land around the machines.
