Installed cost depends on where you install the turbine. Offshore costs up to twice as much as on land. However, winds are steadier offshore, so the capacity factor can be about twice as high as on land. The big wind turbines cost more than a million dollars apiece, but the bigger ones have a lower cost per watt produced. Wind power has become more economical as the wind turbines have gotten larger. Go to Wikipedia and read the wind power article, which covers all the basics.

To dariodeangelis: Google for: wind power in Italy. You will find many links. Italy was ranked 7th in the world for wind power in 2007.Per dariodeangelis: Google per: l'energia eolica in Italia. Potrai trovare molti link. L'Italia è stata classificata 7a nel mondo per produzione di energia eolica nel 2007.

Congratulations to the United Kingdom, you became the world's leader in offshore wind power installed capacity in October, 2008 with the completion of Lynn/Inner Dowsing.

We are now making site investigation for the Gwynt Y Mor windfarm nearby North Hoyle, which is to be built 2011 and will be 3-4 times bigger than this one!!!

I was wondering what does one turbine cost, turn-key?How many household will run supply.Averages will be just fine.Thanks

Hi! Do you know what could a V90 3 MW cost? I am trying to find out the average price of a single plant. See ya!

I work in Vestas Portugal!I love it.In my site exist 37 turbines V90 3 Mw

Vorrei tanto sentir parlare di progetti del genere anche in Italia. (Naturalmente dove c'è realmente la possibilità)

a windmill like that is normally develop for 20 years of production.
