The objective of this wind farm is to operate an economically viable commercial wind energy facility of 100 MW in southeast Oklahoma that contributes to meeting the energy needs of the region.

The bat conservation program/bank focuses on avoiding and minimizing potential impacts to both species of bats, and to minimize impacts to the bats through the protection and enhancement of high-quality bat habitat.
