The costs for a commercial scale wind turbine in 2007 ranged from $1.2 million to $2.6 million, per MW of nameplate capacity installed.
Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3.5 Million installed. Wind turbines have significant economies of scale. Smaller farm or residential scale turbines cost less overall, but are more expensive per kilowatt of energy producing capacity. Wind turbines under 100 kilowatts cost roughly $3,000 to $5,000 per kilowatt of capacity. That means a 10 kilowatt machine (the size needed to power an average home) might cost $35,000-$50,000.

How much does wind power cost per kw hour?
It is very difficult to give a figure. The cost of wind generated power decreases with hours of wind. Within certain limits. Typically wind power is inefficient because of the intermittent winds. Overall wind power is expensive.
What is the Cost of 1 MW generation of power in wind power plant?
daily output of a wind turbine
How much does it cost to use wind power a year?
alot because there is alot electiricty in the wind power machine but i dont know how much it cost by heart
How much does wind power cost?

What is the environmental cost of using wind turbines?
Wind turbines generate energy using wind power. This does not affect the surrounding environment, therefore their environmental cost would be minimal.
How do you properly install a wind power generator and how much does it typically cost?
To properly install a wind power generator, it will typically cost around 40,000 dollars to install a generator that is large enough to power the entire home.
Where do you use wind energy today?
Today - Wind power plants-or "wind farms"-generate power across the US and Europe, and with continuing research and development, wind-generated electricity is comparable in cost to other power sources.
Why does the location of wind power depend on the cost?
The location of wind power depends on cost factors like wind resource availability, access to transmission lines, permitting costs, land expenses, and proximity to load centers. These factors impact the overall cost of wind energy production and influence where it is economically feasible to develop wind projects.
What is preventing wind power from being used now?
Cost, and the unsightliness of the turbines
How much would it cost to try a home wind power generator?
A home wind power generator would likely cost you anywhere from five hundred to over two thousand dollars. There are kits available online to help you.
How do wind turbines affect the cost of electricity?
Wind turbines consume no fuel therefore there is not the added cost of purchasing fuel to make them operate. Wind is a renable source because it's inexhaustable and always available. Wind power is the lowest-cost renewable energy technology available today.
How much is a wind power generator?
The cost of installing a home wind power generator depends on the kilowatt it produces. A 1 kilowatt wind power generator usually costs $3000-$7000. A 7 kilowatt wind power generator costs $20,000-$40,000. The more kilowatt it produces, the more costly it is.
