In 2009 the costs to install a wind farm in the US were approximately $2,000/kW of nameplate capacity or $2,000,000/MW. Turbine prices in 2010 are dropping. Construction costs are also dropping. The result, based on precedent transactions, is an all-in installed cost of $1500/kw nameplate or $1.5m/mw.
Wind farm sizes vary. The majority of wind farms installed in the last 10 years in the US range from 50mw to 150mw, implying an all-in installed cost of $75m to $225m per wind farm.
