The project is estimated to cost between $335 million and $435 million, with an electric generating capacity of up to 207 MW.

The Glacier Hills Wind Farm project will include 90 wind turbines, and each turbine will have a generating capacity of 1.5 to 2.3 MW. The project will be connected to an existing 138-kV electric transmission line. The wind farm footprint encompasses approximately 17,300 acres.
