Yes, the turbines are devices the convert kinetic energy in wind and transforming it into the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft. This is converted into energy. So using wind for our energy is very cost effective.
Typically, wind generators will lower your electric bill by at least 50%. In some cases, if your turbine produces power exceeding your household usage, your electric company may purchase the additional power from you.
