How much power is generated by a wind turbine?

The amount of power generated by a wind turbine depends on its size and the wind conditions at the location. A typical onshore wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 megawatts can generate enough electricity to power around 1,000-1,500 average homes annually. Offshore wind turbines are larger and can generate even more power.
