It depends on the technology. Current wind turbines placed in windy areas can produce electricity at 3-5 cents/kwh.
Newer technologies like high altitude turbines or vertical low velocity turbines claim they can produce for 2 cents/kwh or less.

One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
How much does it cost to maintain a wind turbine?
The cost to maintain a wind turbine is estimated to be about 2% of the original investment per year. The cost of a wind turbine is $50,000.
How does wind make electricity?
Turbines actually make the electricity wind, water, and other recources do the work of turning the generators to produce the electricity.
What wt is used to generate electricity from the wind?
Wind Turbine
Where the wind energy source is found and how it is recovered?
Wind energy is recovered by changing wind energy to electricity
What device is used harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What device is used to harness the energy in wind and convert into the electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
True or false wind farms can directly convert wind into electricity?
Wind turbines convert wind energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Does wind energy use fossil fuels?
No. Wind turbines capture the wind's energy and convert it into electricity.
What will the electricity of a wind turbine cost?
This is a question of how much electrical energy you want to produce, against the cost of the equipment to produce it.
What part of a wind turbine provides motion to convert into electricity?
The blades. Wind passes over the blades creating lift (just like an aircraft wing) which causes the rotor to turn and the wind power to convert to electricity.
Does wind energy use traditional fossil fuels?
No. Wind turbines capture the wind's energy and convert it into electricity.
What type of energy does a windmill change into electricity?
Windmills convert wind energy (which is kinetic energy) into electricity.
What are the advantages of generating electricity by wind turbines compared with generating it at an oil-fired power station?
wind turbines have blades like the propellors on the first aeroplanes wind turbines with blades convert 20-30% of wind energy into electricity but this new turbine can convert 70%.
How much does wind energy cost?
So far it is free because wind is a renewable energy source but you have to count the turbine and generator and everything that produces the electricity.
How you can produce electricity in home in low cost?
You can get solar panels and wind turbines. They're pretty much free to run, but it will cost to buy and install them.
How much electricity is produced by wind?
42 pints of electricity
